Hi Javier,
like you I also had the same problem you are experiencing. But after changing the LogLevel in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to:
LogLevel debug
I saw what the real problem was in /var/log/cups/error_log: [05/Nov/2014:20:35:50 +0100] Group and SystemGroup cannot use the same groups.
Next I changed SystemGroup in /etc/cups/cups-files.conf which was: SystemGroup sys root lp to: SystemGroup sys root
In /etc/cups/cups-files.conf Groups is commented out so this will default to 'lp'. After changing this I was able to start the cupsd again.
Hope this helps, -Lex
Thanks a lot Lex. That was it. Actually as SystemGroup also includes by default sys and root, I just left it commented out as the Group line is. Seems to be working back. It didn't occur to me to increase verbosity (neither I knew how to before). Sorry about that. Thanks, -- Javier.
