Try this:

# /etc/init.d/cupsd zap

# /etc/init.d/cupsd start

Explanation:

The rc-scripts place a link in `/var/lib/init.d/started/ ' pointing back 
to the script that was run.  Sometimes, particularly when a script fails 
to start, this link is left behind.  This fools the rc-scripts into 
thinking the service has already started.  The 'zap' option resets the 
service to the stopped state.  Of course, read the page from the fine 
manual at:
