Are you referring to the cupsys-driver-gimpprint package? It's not installed on either of my machines. Here's a list of packages with "cups" in them: un apcupsd <none> (no description available) ii cupsomatic-ppd 0.20010420-3 cups printer ppd's from LinuxPrinting.org ii cupsys 1.1.10-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server rc cupsys-bsd 1.1.4-3 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD commands ii cupsys-client 1.1.10-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - client programs (SysV) un cupsys-dev <none> (no description available) un cupsys-driver-gimppr <none> (no description available) ii cupsys-pstoraster 1.1.10-4Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - pstoraster un kdelibs3-cups <none> (no description available) un libcupsys1 <none> (no description available) un libcupsys1-dev <none> (no description available) ii libcupsys2 1.1.10-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs un qtcups <none> (no description available) The list looks the same on both machines, except that cupsys-bsd is rc on one and pn on the other. The only other thing I noticed is that gnome-print (which is only in stable and not testing or unstable) is installed on my home machine and not this one. I tried uninstalling it and print jobs still just sit in the queue for ever but I don't remember if my printer's on or off so I'll have to check it when I get a chance :-)
