I have not tried downgrading Upstart yet --- if a race condition exists I'm guessing that it may be a race on disk i/o; I have a humdrum 1.6 GHz cpu / 3.2 GB memory much like many others (Zotac IONITX / Intel Atom 230 with Nvidea GPU) but maybe faster than average disk i/o (Intel X25 M 80GB SSD on SATA2). That could "reveal" a race condition that others do not see. The problem did not occur on this system until I installed this SSD and simultaneously installed the Lucid Beta-1.

I reinstalled all of cups with no joy. Cups does not run on boot and I can not get it to run following any of the advice that has been posted so far.
