Try the newest cupsys in Sid, please.

And be advised that current HPLIP is known to not operate very well with
cupsys 1.2 (hp-setup is busted, for example).

I am waiting for 1.6.6.1 upstream to clear the closed beta stage for an
upload to Debian Sid, and the python-qt fuckups in Sid to be fixed before I
can address this (currently hplip has no way to work well in Debian sid, and
works as well as it always did in Etch as long as you do not upgrade cups
from 1.1 to 1.2).

This doesn't mean hplip in etch won't work with cupsys 1.2, but it does mean
you better test the functionality you need BEFORE you need it (because it
might not be working right).

Ah, the joys of a new cups... who can describe it? ;-)

But do upgrade to the latest Sid cups packages, they fix an extreme amount
of bugs.
