Use:
$ apt-cache search --names-only cups
first, or even just 'apt-cache search cups' to see what packages
reference cups, and derive things from there. You could install a
distribution that has all this preconfigured (e.g. lycoris though I
haven't looked at it myself - costs also so check it out fully to make
sure it will do what you need it to do).
The Linux Documentation Project web site will have the appropriate
howto.
There are some epson printer utils, escputil, another with a gui also
(check ink levels etc. though the system needs configuring if using from
raw debian).
GSO
PS 'apt-cache show [package name]' to show the details of a package
