It is not clear what the problem is. Mmm... not at all. It seems Scott needs foomatic-db-gutenprint for his Xerox printer which seems to be a package not needed anymore after removing hpijs and hplip. But foomatic-db-gutenprint is not marked to be uninstalled as per the message he is getting, it's just an advice to the user telling hey, you can remove it _if you want_.

Calibrating cartridges in CUPS: how?
Hi, I remember that, many years ago, I had an HP utility under Windows which allowed me to do several maintenance tasks on the printer: calibration,, etc. Evidently, this utility is not available under Debian, and I was looking for a CUPS solution to achieve these recurrent tasks. Is there a solution? Thanks. -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.
