How do I install CUPS?

# apt-get install cupsys
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package cupsys

System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager

Indicates that CUPS is installed, but I find no trace of it.

UPDATE:

Nevermind, CUPS is installed. For some reason systemname:631 did not bring it up. Using 127.0.0.1 seems to work.

Not about to install foomatic.

# apt-get install foomatic-db, foomatic-filters-ppds, foomatic-filters, foomatic-db-hpijs hplip hpoj
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to acquire the dpkg frontend lock (/var/lib/dpkg/lock-frontend), is another process using it?

Re: How do I install CUPS?

When Synaptic is open you can't install anything with apt(-get).
