You are correct, it sounds as though CUPS has closed down. This seems
a bit peculiar and confusing, although there is probably a diagnostic
message recorded somewhere. Have you tried the simple approach: have
you rebooted? CUPS should be started fresh as part of the boot process.
(Alternatively, you can just run /usr/sbin/cupsd from the root
command-line.)
