Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
While adding my USB printer Canon MP160, it finds the printer, but when I
select it in the list, it starts searching for a driver. Then I get a warning
about that this action is not supported by this backend. Underneath is says
Provides postscript-driver not supported. I stil get a database with printer
types with my printer highlighted with advised. I can install the printer, but
it won't print.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
Every time I install Debian KDE I get the same result. In Linux Mint or Ubuntu
I don't have the problem.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
Every time the same
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
