  From what I’ve read, you just need to start the CUPS service.

  sudo systemctl start cups.service

    For such a “stripped down” OS to fit in a 5GB / partition, it is very funny that they included printing but just left it off.

      5 GiB is plenty of space for a Linux root filesystem, at least if you move all writeable parts (logs, temporary files, etc.) to different filesystems. Unless you want to install LaTeX, then you probably need 15 GiB or so.

      However, CUPS has had a fair share of security issues (for instance evilsocket.net/…/Attacking-UNIX-systems-via-CUPS-…), so it is probably a good idea to have it disabled by default, unless the user needs printer support.
