Backup /etc/cups first.
apt-get purge cups
followed by
apt-get --purge autoremove
Unless you have set up your system not to, you'll get the recommended
packages with
apt-get install cups
Installing the printer is done from Administration at
http://localhost:631
There is a CUPS+Gutenprint driver for your Oki, or you could try one of
those under Generic. I'm not a great believer in reinstalling as a cure
for problems, so you could try this last step first.
