The "sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart" you probably have from step 4 of
the "CUPS error_log" section in our Wiki. This step is for VERY OLD CUPS
versions, not for the one you are using. To activate debug logging for
you it is enough to run

cupsctl LogLevel=debug

The errors of "sudo stop cups; sudo start cups" ("initctl: Can not
connect to Upstart: Failed to connect to socket /com/ubuntu/upstart:
Connection refused") make the impression that you have a problem with
Upstart.

pitti, can you check the Upstart problem here?

Later you get the message "The configuration file «/etc/cups/cupsd.conf»
absent.". This means that your file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf got lost. This
is the main configuration file for CUPS. Without this file CUPS does not
start. Run the commands

apt-get download cups
sudo dpkg -i --force-confmiss cups_*.deb

to recover it.
