Problem was solved by downgrading to an earlier version of gs-esp and
reinstalling the gimp-print package.  I don't know if the gs-esp
problem is Debian specific or not, but found the problems listed as
bugs on debian.org.  Hadn't been crawled by Google yet, I guess.  

I know a heck of a lot more about tracking bugs now, though.  ;-)
