Yeah! Ah well now we are at least close to the problem and hopefully
near to a solution.
I suggest you use aptitude to add and remove packages:
As root or sudo do:
# aptitude reinstall cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-client
it should throw in a few dependencies
I always find this doc handy when playing with printing - coincidentally
I've just been sorting out a client's printing problem with a debian
print server and MacOSX and windows clients:
http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-mini/Debian-and-Windows-Shared-Printing.html
A lot of it won't be relevant but there's some good stuff in there :)
BTW - I'm copying this to the list - just in case somebody needs the
same info. It's also customary on this list to post your answers below
so others can follow the thread.
Ok I think I removed Cupsys(?)
But this is what I get when I try and install
Cupsys and what I thnk I need
(there seems to be a large amount of stuff for cups)

Which release are you running? stable(sarge), testing(etch) or
unstable(sid); if you're not sure post the output of:
# cat /etc/apt/sources.list
It looks as though you're running etch or sid; in which case you may
have to wait for these dependencies to be resolved. If you're
unfamiliar with Debian, you would be better of starting on sarge and
then upgrading when you're more comfortable with the 'Debian way'.
Am I right in thinking there isnt a Deb64 printing system for these 'all
in one' HP things, its a PSC 1205.
I don't know :(
Here is the output from the command:
# aptitude reinstall cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-client

*************************************
OK I see you're running etch and that you're installing everything from
disk; this could be a problem. If you're running etch or sid you would
be better off doing a netinst which means you get a limited installation
disk and do the bulk of the installation on line. Thereafter you can
obtain the uptodate fixes, packages etc. at will. It does require a
Broadband connection unless you want to wait hours for downloads.
http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst
Anyway, what may help is to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to something
like:
deb http://amd64.debian.net/debian/ etch main contrib
deb-src http://amd64.debian.net/debian/ etch main contrib
and comment out '#' the CD lines
Then run
# aptitude update
# aptitude upgrade
Then do:
# aptitude install cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-client
BTW if you're running etch/sid you ought to install 'apt-listbugs' which
allows you to abort installations/upgrades if there are open bug
reports.
YMMV
