I had to do that last year, cups somehow got messed up & I could not do
admin from the web page. When you take out cups, it also had to take out
a BUNCH of other installed apps, so I copied those app-names to a text
file, so I could remember to reinstall them later, knowing aptitude
install cups would do it:)
and it IS important to note you need to PURGE cups, not just remove it.-
aptitude purge cups
