Good evening, Sophie
Many printers can be supported in Debian: one way or another we should be
able to help you.
Since we cannot be with you to see exactly what you are doing: could you
please answer some questions for the list to help us to help you?
Just to check: Exactly which version of Debian are you using?
You can find this in the file /etc/debian_version
Which desktop environment are you running?
GNOME or KDE or one of the others?
Many desktop environments have Settings or something similar gathering
together tools to set up screens, sound and printers.
Thank you for your help in helping us :)
With best wishes
Andy Cater
or something similar which gathers together tools to set up sound, screens
and so on.

Among other things, what you are doing wrong:
- Top posting.
- Using 0x65 0x57 0x3A 0x20 instead of 0x52 0x65 0x3A 0x20 as a reply
marker in the subject.

I do not think it has any significance. It may be tricky to configure
locale of mail client per sender. "AW" instead of "Re" in subject line
is common enough in mails sent by German users to not bother.
