SteamOS doesn't come with a print service and there is a package conflict (libcups2) if you try to install cups using the Debian Wheezy repositories. Here is the result when I try to install cups:

desktop@steamos:~$ sudo apt-get install -t wheezy cups

Sorry, just realized this should be in "steamOS" not "steam-for-linux". Should I close it and open a new issue there?

Please close this issue. It is a duplicate of steamOS issue #186.
