Hi, I've been running Ubuntu since 8.10, and have had every version though 14.04. Since 14.10 had minimal changes and since 14.04 is a Long Term Service release, I didn't upgrade to 14.10. Every version has been the standard, including all of the versions with Unity. All have had cups installed in the standard install. I almost always have done clean installs, and not upgrades.
