please try the following :

set LogLevel value in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to "debug"

e.g. :
- open a terminal
- type in : gksudo gedit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

- then type :
- sudo tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log
- open another tab in the terminal and type :
sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys stop
sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start

look at the output of the logfile and report back here
