OK a couple of things to try:

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure cupsys

if that doesn't get you further forward try:

$ sudo aptitude purge cupsys

$ sudo aptitude install cupsys

I assume the printer is connect directly to your box via usb?  Once
you've tried the above.  In a browser go to:

http://localhost:631

There are various options there to reconfigure the printers; you may
need to reinstall the ptinter.  If you can't get to cups via the
browser, add yourself to the shadow group.

Good luck :)
