package cups-browsed 1.0.61-0ubuntu2.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Jeff Silverman]

I removed cups because I was getting "Entity was too large" error messages when trying to configure through the web interface, and I was getting other errors when I tried configuring using the command line interface (I forget which errors, but it has to do with my printer, an Epson Stylus Photo 890), So I removed cups with apt-get and tried installing it from source code from the cups website. That didn't work either,

What I am going to do now is remove the open source version of cups and try again with Ubuntu's version to see what happens.

I am currently running /usr/sbin/cupsd 2.0.2

When I try to print something, the printer gets no data (there is a light on the printer that blinks when it gets data, and it remains off),

I expect the printer to get some data. Even if I use the wrong filter, I still expect to get something.
