Read the error message, it says you can't have spaces, or over 127 characters, thus you must have done one or the other of the above, e.g. "sexybeast"

As mentioned earlier, check if cups works, if it's running, open the page in whatever internet browser you may use, and log in as root ('do administration tasks') to configure the printer.
