I guess you got a network problem..., and, please, read the post in this 
thread...

I get this:
$ netstat -tan|grep 631
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:631           0.0.0.0:*               
LISTEN

running, I doubt that.

Please the output of post 
ps axu|grep cups

If there only shows up a line with grep in it, your cupsd did not start 
up.

Try then 
sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start
and directly after that
sudo dmesg|tail
and
sudo tail -n40 /var/log/cups/error_log

Please post only relevant output related to cups and delete lines which 
appears twice and replace with [...]
