It works beautifully!! only it's a bit slow printing but that's ok. I think now's the time to safely delete my redhat partition and give the rest of the space to debian :)
Thanks Mark! I didn't know I can configure my printer via my browser, it seems that there's no printer configured for my box ... no wonder it didn't work. I got the drivers setup now and installed cups-bsd via synaptic. Works great.
