OK. I gave it a try and this is how far I got:
The manpages and documentation on cups.org is rather useless regarding
installation and formatting of the config-files.
The package installs corrupt config-files according to
$ cupsd -t
"/gnu/store/qs3xymcsgxa68i8m188261rhxsszx7za-cups-2.1.0/etc/cups/cups-files.conf"
contains errors.
I have a running working installation of cups 1.7 on my trisquel 7
machine. I tried copying the working (very similar) configs from there
which the trisquel-cupsd report as 'OK'.
=> It did not help and the error is not as detailed as I would like and
there is no debug option is seems.
Is there a good free non-apple-owned alternative to CUPS I could try
instead?
