By doing that, you're persisting *much* more than your printer
drivers, and you'll miss any security update in CUPS, or driver
printers, that Debian releases (and Tails forwards). Moreover, this
will very likely break the printing system entirely when you upgrade
to Tails based on Debian 7 (Wheezy), once it's out. So, I strongly
recommend against doing that.

You can use `dpkg -L PACKAGE' to get a list of files installed by
a given .deb. But that's more of a generic Debian usage question,
so is getting quickly off-topic here.

Unfortunately, Tails' "Additional software packages" persistence
feature does not support installing packages that are not part of
Debian. To solve your problem, either that feature could be added to
Tails, or (much better!) your printer drivers should be added to
Debian: https://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/

I'm sorry to conclude that, in the current state of Tails, I see no
sane way to avoid reinstalling the .deb's by hand on every boot,
whenever you need to print things.

Cheers,
