REPLACE all mention of cups-client with cups-bsd above.
Perhaps not what the OP wanted, but I find Cups a nightmare and always use magicfilter. Very easy to configure and always works for me, with at least 5 different printers.
I to have an old testing partition that will not print with Cups. It hasn't for about 3 years now. I used magicfilter to get it working though.
When Cups works it is great, it is working now on 3 partitions now, stable, stable upgraded to wheezy and stable upgraded to sid. I also have the Magicfilter package for them, just in case. ;-)
