Hello,
If it concerns a server located in a data centre and it is not remotely accessible,
that is pretty serious indeed.
As far as I have noticed, if the runlevel is not set and Cups is not started, nothing
important beyond that is missing. Even services that are started in the same way
(from /etc/rc2.d/) are running normally (e.g., ntpd, sshd, pulseaudio).
