The only place I found anything was hplipopensource.com. When I tried to install the necessary I ran into the problem described in my original post. What I do find strange is that I managed to install two packages from squeeze-backports which are no longer in squeeze-backports. Consequently the procedure followed by hplipopensource.com for the printer is looking for the versions of those two packages in squeeze only and will not let me proceed until I install them. Because the packages from squeeze-backports have higher version numbers than their squeeze only equivalents neither apt-get nor aptitude will let me downgrade only those two packages; both insist on removing most of the packages for my desktop -- kde-trinity. Andrei's proposed solution requires use of dpkg, which is the back end for both apt-get and aptitude and if used with the appropriate options will do what I want to do.
