For whatever reason it happened that I symlinked gutenprintCVS ppds but
was using gutenprint filters ..

Patch updated:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/1120/

This should be pretty much all you need

  printing = {
    enable = true;
    gutenprintPackage = config.services.printing.cupsPackages.gutenprintCVS; // or .gutenprint
  };


See description:

  gutenprintPackage = mkOption {
    default = null;
    description = ''
      Enable gutenprint by setting this options to config.services.printing.cupsPackages.gutenprint(CVS).
      Unless this setting is null (default) gutenprint.ppds will be symlinked to /run/current-system/sw/ppds/.
      When installing a new printer in cupsd web interface select the matching ppd file.
    '';
  };

There might still be "style issues" (depending on view point) with this
patch .. but works for me.
