Tried the workaround mentioned in bug 524186.

Worked for next boot.... failed on next two subsequent cold boots...
I must try to find time to investigate the workings of upstart, from what I have read so far I am guessing either the CUPS start process has not been fully ported and fails if certain 'events' occur/do not occur (maybe along with other services that I have not noticed because I do not use them..) or.. at some point upstart is provided with a NULL runlevel argument and skips processing subsequent events.

A thought.. what if there are many more instances of CUPS not starting but not reported as the users have no printer and have not noticed..
