Hello. Thanks for show me the drivers location. I've installed the bjfiltercups-2.3-0.i386.rpm and bjfilteri250-2.3-0.i386.rpm after generate the debs with alien like you. bjfilteri250_2.3-1_i386.deb bjfiltercups_2.3-1_i386.deb But after this, I had to install: libxml1 libglade0 libpng2 because some libraries was missed (You can check it with ldd). Now the printer works fine in Debian sarge. :D

i just can say the printer works, but nut fine ;) it has still some problems to fetch / guess the right color. i will put it in here, if i find a solution.
