This situation is most likely due to the gimp-print package not being completely removed during an upgrade. It it probably uninstalled but there may be some residual configuration files remaining, which is why it is still listed in Synaptic.

To rectify this, open Synaptic and then right click on the gimp-print package. Select 'Mark for Complete Removal' and then click 'Apply'. It should now be fully removed.

Can you help with this problem?
