Feisty! .. CUPS Error "Status 2"

I'm using Feisty 7.04

When trying to start the 'Printing' option from System->Preferences I
receive the following error: The CUPS server could not be contacted.

When trying to install any updates I receive the following errors in
the update manager details:
Setting up cupsys (1.2.8-0ubuntu5) ...
 * Starting Common Unix Printing System: cupsd
cupsd: Child exited with status 2!
invoke-rc.d: initscript cupsys, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing cupsys (--configure)
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

I found very little referencing the "status 2".
Any ideas?

Thanks!
-Mike
