Yes, but I think it doesn't have to do with the lp and ppdev
modules. The lp module basically makes a device like /dev/lp0
available --- you can do things like echo "test" > /dev/lp0 with that,
but you're using USB.
Getting a message about gutenprint probably means that there's
something wrong with the so-called drivers, i. e. filters, that make
all the features of the printer available.
Do you have the gutenprint packages installed? You probably need to
start with the "cups-driver-gutenprint" package (it's part of the
distribution) and eventually install additional packages (also part of
Debian) that specifically support the printer you're using if the
support for it isn't already provided by "cups-driver-gutenprint".
