The terminal log of the update process contains:

Setting up cups (1.4.6-5ubuntu1.2) ...
start: Job is already running: cups
invoke-rc.d: initscript cups, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing cups (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Looks like CUPS is already running during the update. Can you kill all
processes of cupsd and then try the package installation/update again?

** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Incomplete
