=> Unit cups/cups-client.service not found
#Deltadave Its not possible to open the included driver instaler
cups/cups-client??..mmmmm I dont know…
I did it like this:

sudo systemctl start cups
After that, open a browser (Firefox) and point to : http://localhost:631

This guide has pretty much all the trouble-shooting you should need. I am too lazy to retype it plus the guy who wrote this is much better than me 
Good luck with CUPS and let us know if that works.

Okay I got it! 
I could not install and start cups.service -thats why I tried to start cups-client-
The package “http://deb.parrotsec.org/parrot/” wasnt activated in Synaptic-Packagemanager.
After this I can start the driver installer
…and try to install the printer driver
… but that will be another story
