Everyone who has problems with CUPS not starting on boot, please do the following:

Add "--verbose" to the kernel command line, proceeding as described here

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Change%20Boot%20Options%20Permanently%20On%20An%20Existing%20Installation

Reboot your system and check whether CUPS is running, if it is running, reboot again, until you have CUPS not running. Remove workarounds if you have applied some. Do a cold boot (system shut down and after that turning on the machine again).

If your system is up with CUPS not running, attach your

/var/log/boot.log

file to this bug report.
