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,
