Wheezy (7.8) is too old for systemd to be the default, it's the default for Debian 8.0 (Jessie), I forgot to put the version numbers in, sorry.
I will be looking closely at Devuan.
I'm not running a Debian new enough for systemd, but under Ubuntu it's only made things better. Before I would get random (but often) times when my system wouldn't boot because of weird race conditions between software raid, LVM and init trying to fsck volumes before they were ready and so aborting saying it couldn't fsck something that didn't exist. Of course when I tried manually it would work. :-(
Systemd is available in wheezy and worked well in all my tests. The upgrade process from wheezy with systemd to jessie required a manual restart of systemd during the upgrade process but apart from that it was all fine.
Query on CUPS and printer drivers/filters, do you have a system user in your passwd file of lp? Who is the owner of the CUPS files, and who is the owner of the various filters/drivers? On my Debian 7.8 system, they are all owned by "root" and there is a comment in one CUPS file that at least some of them must not have the owner resolve to root. Regards, Mark Trickett
