I expect the cups maintainers are going to need more information here.
Please look in the journal (or syslog) to see what went wrong, and quote
it on the bug.

Useful commands might include "journalctl", "less /var/log/syslog",
"journalctl -xn", "systemctl -a status cups.service", "systemctl list-units".
cups works fine on my systemd laptop, so there must be some local
state/configuration involved here, rather than a simple "doesn't work on
systemd".

The rest of the failures you quoted look like a cascade of failed
dependencies from cups-daemon failing to configure.

(I am not a cups maintainer, I just saw this bug on apt-listbugs and
thought I'd get start the process of getting enough information that the
cups maintainers can do something about it.)
