First I would install the package "printer-driver-all" and try again. It likely 
won't fix your problem, but it is worth trying because it takes so little time.

Sometimes the error messages printed to a terminal are more helpful than the 
ones in the graphical interface. Try opening a terminal with Ctrl+Alt+T, and 
then type "system-config-printer" (without the quotes) and press Enter. Attempt 
to add the printer again. I anything is printed to the terminal when you 
attempt to add the printer, copy it (Ctrl+Shift+C) and paste it here.

Are you only using Debian main (the default), or have you enabled contrib or 
non-free?
