OK thanks, I tried this, and found that cupsys-pstoraster and cupsomatic-ppd are not in "Stable", although they are in "Unstable". My system is entirely installed from "stable"?
If I install all the cups packages from "unstable" onto my system which is otherwise loaded from "stable", am I likely to have problems? Will it work at all? And is there any convenient way to do that, other than editing the apt sources file manually? Can anyone explain why cupsys and cupsys-bsd, which are part of "stable", don't come up when I use dselect? Thanks for your help.
