The issue is that the upstart cups configuration file tells it to start only when the filesystem, dbus, and avahi-daemon are started. And avahi-daemon is not included in the Lubuntu 13.04 that the LiveCD installs by default. See /etc/init/cups.conf .
Therefore, the workaround/fix is to install avahi-daemon (which is needed to detect some networked printers anyway). sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon -y will do that. Then a reboot sudo shutdown -r now will get you Lubuntu with a running and working cupsd.
