Yes - actually I was checking in unstable! :) But if you don't want to upgrade to at least woody, you can always DL the sources for cups from woody or sid, then run dpkg-buildpackage in root directory of the uncompressed source. That should build that package unless you need something that might not be on potato. > > If you are new to Debian, [sounds like it :-], it might > > take you a while to set up the printer correctly.

Thus I would still suggest getting the sources from testing and trying to compile using dpkg-buildpackage. I think this might work and should give you best results... - Adam
