I have been trying to configure my raspberry in order to have a printer server. I have a Hp printer which is connected through USB to my raspberry pi. The first part of this project is to configure printer with the RPi, and every website (also here) I found indicate that is needed to install cups using apt-get.

The point is that I have dependency errors, I haven't been able to solve it.

What I have try:

  1. Remove and install again: I remove all packages of cups and then try to install it.
  2. I have made sudo apt-get update && upgrade (I lost the count of times I have repeat it).
  3. I upgrade the OS: I was working in Raspbian Wheezy and I upgrade to Raspbian Jessie.

How could I go on with this?

I have not try to clear my sd and start from another Raspbian installation from nothing, because I use my RPi to control another stuff in my home, so I prefer not to go ahead this solution if there is any other chance to solve this issue.

Thanks in advance,
