The gnome utility is not the same as the system-config-printer
utility
(written by Red Hat). The former works fine for me in debian. BTW, I
setup my debian template using 'tasksel' and chose both debian
desktop
and gnome.
Isn't Gnome the Debian Dektop GUI?
All/most of gnome was missing back when I installed the debian template.

I have been manually choosing from the built-in drivers. For many
printers, you can use a driver with a model number that's close if
there's no exact match.
There is the problem in the first place. That's the bit I can't get
to, as per my OP.
I can't get THAT far. If I could then I wouldn't be having the issue
and be here trygin to get an answer.
Its only about the 5th step when I do it. I suggest you go in through
the gnome-control-center, click on the Plus sign, enter the printer IP
address in the search dialog (printer should then appear, perhaps more
than once), then select the LPD entry and 'Add'. At that point you
should have a driver selection dialog, with manufacturers on the left
and drivers on the right.

Either in debian or the driver.
It could be something in Debian OR the Qubes Drivers. Not the Printer
drivers, as I can't even get to the point to select them.
Its also possible something about your debian template became corrupt.
If so, you could reinstall it.
