You just need the right package name(s):

$ apt-cache search cups
apcupsd - APC UPS Power Management
cupsys-bsd - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - BSD commands
libcupsys1-dev - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - development files
libcupsys1 - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs
libcupsys2 - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - libs
cupsys - Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - base
$ apt-get install cupsys cupsys-bsd
...
