Bug Description

While updating some components -- cups, printer-driver-hpcups, hplip, printer-driver-postscript-hp -- I've got error:

Doing 'sudo apt-get -f install' returns same error.

Here's return of 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' command:

I've recently deleted cups init script from '/etc/init.d' because didn't want it to run at system startup.
