Hello all,
Before beginning here is some required information:
Kali version: Linux KaliLinux 3.14-kali1-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 3.14.5-1kali1 (2014-06-07) i686 (32bit) GNU/Linux

Kali installation: HDD - ONLY OS running on this laptop

I have been trying to get my USB printer working with Kali. I cannot run apt-get install cups or aptitude install cups without the following error message:

Code:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 cups : Depends: libslp1 but it is not installable
        Recommends: foomatic-filters (>= 4.0) but it is not installable
        Recommends: printer-driver-gutenprint but it is not installable
        Recommends: ghostscript-cups (>= 9.02~) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I have updated and upgraded my distro multiple times. I have restarted the computer. I am running with root privileges. I have tried to run

Code:
service cups start
but I get
Code:
cups: unrecognized service
If I go into the Add/Remove Software program and filter "cups", I can see multiple "packages"(?) there, some colored with a checkmark beside them, others washed out.

What am I doing wrong? I have tried to research this for 3 hours with no luck.

Thanks
Daniel
