aha - so I assume that he installed cups from the repo. I have no idea whether cups is in the dCore repo?
Still - I think a statement such as " I'm unable to make it work." is not enough for me to help.
I need more info as stated in my previous post

I see that cups will not start (/etc/init.d/cups start) and it's postinst script is huge, I will look into it and hopefully get it going soon.

Startup script added, /etc/init.d/cups starts and the web interface appears working, but I don't have a printer to test with.  Please test and give feedback, if I can't fix any remaining issues that may be remaining based on feedback I will borrow a printer if needed.

I re-imported cups and with only it installed the init.d script started.  Then I load a desktop and firefox displays the web interface and it overall works as expected. 

What is your md5 of your /tmp/tcloop/cups/usr/local/tce.installed/cups script?  Mine is d170892217514208ecff7633fdcc79ba

I have a hunch you are using a mirror and it has yet to sync with the main repo.tinycorelinux.net.  I just now looked at a mirror in Greece and it has not synced the cups.deb2sce script yet.

Ok.  When you issue "/etc/init.d/cups start" what is the exact error message?

You are using the cups import,  "import cups" and not a different package?

yes, i use "import cups"!
during the process i have to choose between different versions of cups and it's dependencies...
first i tried the middle versions of the *-i386.deb-alternatives, in a second step i chose the latest versions for my x86-platform... but always the same result.
