Initially, I went with what Debian Woody originally gave me, but I
eventually pulled in the gimp-print driver as recommended by
linuxprinting.org.  It didn't make any difference.  

I know nothing of gnome print - just how many parts of a print system
does one have to go find and install in Debian? :-/
