The current cupsys-driver-gimpprint package in Etch is just an empty
transitional package to ensure an automatic upgrade to the gutenprint
system. If you need a fully functional gimpprint then you have to find
older packages, maybe on snapshot.debian.net. I am not sure if it is
easily possible to use the Sarge cupsys packages on Etch.
