    (try to add ‘–allowerasing’ to command line to replace conflicting packages or ‘–skip-broken’ to skip uninstallable packages or ‘–nobest’ to use not only best candidate package

Unable to update! Tried adding “–allowerasing” option. No help. Error persisted. Is the version of linux too old?

Just in case repodata is not fresh, clear dnf first and make sure system is up-to-date:

dnf clean all
dnf update

then try again with cups.
