Yes, I most likely did. I had at one point added to sources.list "deb.mozilla.net squeeze-backports iceweasel-release" and for a while was using iceweasel 10. When I discovered that using that version caused as many problems as it solved I removed that line from sources.list and went back to debian's own squeeze-backports and downgraded to iceweasel 3.something. I am consequently stuck with python 2.6.6-13~bpo60+1 which seems to work with everything using python, but hplip wants the "pure" version of python rather than the "unofficial" version provided by deb.mozilla.net. So I am back to Andrei's proposed solution, which I will not be able to try until next month.
