Glad you got the printer(s) sorted out.
Not really sure why you're getting that message. Doesn't sound like you are using more than one program at same time. From your description you said you were using the "package installer". Did you download a .deb file and then try to install it with the "GDebi Package Installer"? (That's what it sounds like you were doing, but I can't be sure.) If so, a better way to install it would be through the Synaptic Package Manager which is opened with Menu -> System -> Install/Remove Programs. Go ahead and open that, then type "heimdall" in the search box to find the program packages.

Click the boxes next to both packages and choose "Mark for installation". Then hit the "Apply" button to carry out the install. If there are any needed dependency packages, they will be listed for install also.
If that doesn't work, then post back with screenshot as Valtam asked. (Instructions for posting screenshots are here.)
