perhaps try racking up LogLevel in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and take a look at the logs.
see man 5 cupsd.conf I say again try telnet on port 631, nothing to do with having the telnetd daemon on. You will need the telnet binary, which may mean installing the telnetd binary too, but you do not need to activate the daemon. BTW on redhat and similar, service cups start is exactly the same, and quicker, than typing /etc/init.d/cups start.
