[arch-general] no cups web/server with new version?

Hi,

I followed the cups instructions when it upgraded recently:

% pacman -Qs cups
local/cups 2.0.0-2
    The CUPS Printing System - daemon package
local/cups-filters 1.0.61-2
    OpenPrinting CUPS Filters
local/cups-pdf 2.6.1-2
    PDF printer for cups
local/lib32-libcups 1.7.5-1
    The CUPS Printing System - client libraries (32-bit)
local/libcups 2.0.0-2
    The CUPS Printing System - client libraries and headers

I stopped and removed the old service, reloaded daemons, started and
enabled new services (org.cups.cupsd.service and
cups-browsed.service).

However it seems I don't have the server working, since I can't get to
localhost:631, and:

% dmesg | 'grep' cups
[   10.006918] systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit
cups.socket, ignoring: Unit cups.socket failed to load: No such file
or directory.
[   10.006965] systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit
cups.path, ignoring: Unit cups.path failed to load: No such file or
directory.
[ 1652.605967] systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit
cups.socket, ignoring: Unit cups.socket failed to load: No such file
or directory.

% lpinfo -v
lpinfo: Bad file descriptor

The only configs in cups-files:

% 'grep' '^[^#]' /etc/cups/cups-files.conf
SystemGroup sys root lp
AccessLog /var/log/cups/access_log
ErrorLog /var/log/cups/error_log
PageLog /var/log/cups/page_log

I noticed a prior e-mail about this, with similar dmesg indications,
but the OP indicated he solved his problems by using the appropriate
services.  Though I think I have the right services started and
enabled...

BTW, the web interface was working prior to the update.  Any hints?

Thanks,
