CUPS is part of the open source printer driver setup. My FAQ* should help you find out if your printer is supported on 10.9. You may have to install Apple's update for 10.9 to your printer model series if it is listed on Apple's list of compatible drivers. Otherwise open source drivers are needed or the drivers from the third party website.
