The version available in Debian is useless for Squeeze or Sid, at least
with the majority of printers and settings. I don't know what changed
or exactly when, but it was sometime around June 2009 or earlier in
Sid. A few months ago I just installed an updated version (1.1.15) from
the official website, and it works fine (although there are some minor
changes to the way the GUI presents information). In addition to
system-config-printer, I had to install python-cups, python-smbclient,
and the cupshelpers, also from the maintainer's website, or perhaps just
linked from there. I also remember having a few issues with
hal-cups-utils, but think that just leaving the Debian package in place
worked best.
