Well, install the gimpprint driver for CUPS. In Debian just go to dselect, select cupsys-driver-gimpprint and you should get cups and all in there. Make sure to install docs [cupsys-driver-gimpprint] and read them. They might help... If you are new to Debian, [sounds like it :-], it might take you a while to set up the printer correctly. It _will_ help if you install and read the docs. Hope this helps, Adam PS. In dsleect, in select window, just hit / to search for packages. Just like in vi.
