I will check it out today and test it with our printer.

What I would like is to provide backports of the package for etch. Our
printing servers are running etch and I would like to have a clean,
simple upgrade path for the package.

Personally I think the description of how to get a printer working needs
to be improved. Its also hard for a user to find out that this package
also contains the stuff from upstream foo2qpdl, foo2hp and foo2lava.
A simple 'apt-get search ...' doesnt show a package for the printers
provided by these parts of the package.
