You will have to show us more info. What exactly is the error? at what stage of set up do you get it? ect…

EDIT:

OK…
After looking at it myself, it looks like cups probably isnt installed.
sudo apt-get install cups
Then to start cups
service cups start

Then you can either go to
localhost:631 in your browser, or use the print settings application to add your printer.
