Thanks, Frans, but the result of trying to use those is:

sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb [sudo] password for lcn:
dpkg-deb: `cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb' is not a debian format
archive dpkg: error processing cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb
(--install):
 subprocess dpkg-deb --control returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 cnijfilter-common_2.80-1_i386.deb

So I guess I cant use them. (I wonder who CAN)

On my Ubuntu 8.04 system:

common_2.80-1_i386.deb 
dpkg - warning: downgrading cnijfilter-common from 3.20-1 to 2.80-1.
