cannot open system/admin/printing, cups errors, cups server could not be contacted...

[Scott Lockwood]

It's cupsys, not cups. dpkg isn't the way to do it anyhow. Once you have
cups installed (sudo aptitude install cupsys) then point your browswer
at http://localhost:631/ and go from there. It's pretty easy and menu
driven from that point.
