I think this may be part of the confusion with setting up printers using
cups on Debian. There is no package named cups (tasksel, anyone?).

I was in the same situation up until last year. Couldn't print after
installing Debian, and since I didn't need to print anything, I just
didn't bother looking into it.
Finally had to print something last year, and really didn't look forward
