I realize that. That's why I asked you to:

sudo apt-get install cupsys*

[don't forget the asterisk * ]

My guess is that you have some missing bits. That command will install
*everything* related to cupsys.  [I apologize for taking somewhat of a
shotgun approach here, but that will make sure that you actually have
all the bits installed].

When finished:

sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart

Now see if sytem/admin/printing works.

Please post the output of the commands when finished.
