It shouldn't ever be necessary to use --nodeps
That's how you broke things in the first place.
If cups service is started (and didn't quit), you should be able to
use...
Administration => Printing
and set up your printer now
make sure it can print a test page from that configuration tool before
you try printing with any other program

It seems to me there are only two possibilities:
1. cupsd is not running. What does : ps aux -columns 256 |grep cupsd
return/
2. Your /etc/hosts file does not define a localhost. Use the ip number
of ypur machine rather than localhost.

No package system-config-printer available.
Nothing to do.
Root and Roots password do no work.

I presume this in reference to logging into cups via firefox and
connecting to

root and root's password always work
