There may be some legacy problems from the old system. I had a look at Debian Bug report logs - #814340 as that seemed closest to this problem. I have files in /var/spool/cups I looked for /lib/systemd/system/cups.path there was no file, nor cups.service cups.socket # find / -name 'cups.path' reports this /var/lib/systemd/deb-systemd-helper-enabled/multi-user.target.wants/cups.path And # apt-get install cups-daemon Reading package lists...
