When setting up printer on Debian Wheezy, got error:
"Option 'printer-resolution' has value '(unknown IPP tag)' and cannot be edited."

see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=656640

The error was not harmful and you can just ignore it. To get rid of it, you can install a newer version of python-cups package from ubuntu repository:

64 bit Debian Linux:
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python-cups/python-cups_1.9.63-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i python-cups_1.9.63-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
32 bit Debian Linux:
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/python-cups/python-cups_1.9.63-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
sudo dpkg -i python-cups_1.9.63-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

I think I've seen this myself. For me it was not causing any printing problems. And I think it only occurs when you go into printer options, and can be ignored. Is it an HP printer, mine is. If you use the CUPS web interface, it may not happen (http://localhost:631).

I would not recommend installing any ubuntu packages myself. but if debian bug report suggests it, maybe it's OK.
