Binary package hint: cupsys-client

OS : Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Dapper Drake
Computer : laptop Asus A7V-R024H

I recently tried to install my Canon ip4200 inkjet printer, using the official Canon drivers. As I update regularly my system, cupsys-client was update as well as ubuntu-dektop, hence I had the newest version of cupsys-client (1.2.2)
Following the installation described on a French ubuntu wiki ( http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/materiel/imprimante_canon_ip_4200 ), it ends up with the printer not working i.e it pauses automatically, no document whatsoever would be printed.
After some research, it results that cupsys-client must be set to the original dapper version (1.2.0) to allow the printer to function correctly. I used Synaptic to do so (force version then block version).
The main problem is that now metapacket ubuntu-dektop is removed.
