You can start cups with "/etc/init.d/cupsys start". If cups is installed
correctly.

Somehow the installation seems to have failed. Please check the status of
the cups packages:
dpkg --get-selections | grep cups
should at least show:
cupsys install
cupsys-bsd install
cupsys-client install
cupsys-pstoraster install
libcupsys2 install
