Thanks, got that one fixed. On trying to find the answer myself I find one
post states that the browser is blocking the icons. So I 'gksu firefox' as
another user and I can see all the icons.

Now the problem is that I can't see any gutenprint driver from the cups
web page. What's the minimum set of package do I need to install so as to
use cups+gutenprint?
FYI, I listed my installed packages at
http://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php?s16580+gcups.general+v16586+T0
the set works before even without foomatic-gui, but not now.

My Debian Lenny based. I think I'd wait for a while to try again, because
I saw at least another report that web interface don't work.
Debian Bug report logs - #489892 cups: browsing does not work

And using the latest packages from unstable is not good idea for cups
currently too, because
http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=cups
"cups is not yet built on mipsel: 1.3.7-7 vs 1.3.7-8 (missing 8 binaries)"
Thanks all the same for the answer. Please tell me the minimum set of
package for cups+gutenprint.
Thanks
