Error during CUPS configuration

Error during CUPS configuration

I'm trying to setup cups printing on machine running GuixSD. I've attached the
config. The problem I'm having is that guix throws an error on the line saying:
"(cups-service-type", here's the error:

guix system: error: failed to load '/etc/config.scm':
/etc/config.scm:97:19: In procedure #<procedure 54078a0 ()>:
/etc/config.scm:97:19: Wrong type to apply: #<service-type cups 4a88810>

Neither guix/gnu/services/cups.scm or the docs explain this, is
cups-service-type a placeholder or is it just a strange name for a servie?

Any help would be nice.

Hello, I don't use cups service, but...

... the manual says:

  (service cups-service-type (cups-configuration ...))

and you do:

  (cups-service-type (cups-configuration ...))
