This is a transitional package to install the cups driver based on gutenprint, which has been renamed to printer-driver-gutenprint.

gutenprint is the print facility for the gimp, and in addition a suite of drivers that may be used with common unix spooling systems using ghostscript or cups. these drivers provide printing quality for unix/linux on a par with proprietary vendor-supplied drivers in many cases, and can be used for many of the most demanding printing tasks. gutenprint was formerly known as gimp-print.
