This is fixed upstream along with supporting my printer that is not supported in the version in the debian archive (lenny), and so I currently have it installed from upstream source.

Help is really appreciated in any from. Up to now the main problem with
upstream was that there were some non-distributable stuff in the
upstream tarball. This needs to be checked carefully. Im in the middle
of review of a new upstream release. This takes some time.
Unfortunately.
