Not a problem.  Well, not sure if this directly answers your question, but:

mitch at colossus:/home$ apropos gutenprint
cups-genppd.5.0 (8)  - generate Gutenprint PPD files for use with CUPS
cups-genppdconfig.5.0 (8) - a user-friendly interface to generate
Gutenprint PPD files for use with CUPS
cups-genppdupdate.5.0 (8) - update CUPS+Gutenprint PPD files
ijsgutenprint (1)    - Ghostscript driver for Gutenprint
ijsgutenprint.5.0 (1) - Ghostscript driver for Gutenprint

This is from my system, Dapper for AMD64.  So it appears that there is
at least the ability to use Gutenprint in Dapper.
