Cups doesn't seem to want to work since I transitioned my machine to systemd - although that may be a red herring.
I can start it via
systemctl start cups
and the web interface is available, although there are errors. For example, the admin tab simply displays
Internal server error
and the printer tab shows:
Unable to get printer list:
Connection refused
When I look in the log I can see
[CGI] Unable to connect to cupsd: Connection refused
If I enable the daemon with
systemctl enable cups.service
then it returns without errors - although I'm still getting the problems mentioned above - if that makes sense?
If I try and enable it with
systemctl enable cupsd.service
then it returns
Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory
The printer is connected and switched on!
Any ideas?

I've tried reinstalling cups and googling there error, but still no luck.

BTW - if it makes any difference, the printer is connected by wifi and has worked perfectly well for a while now.

Nevermind - rebooting the server fixed it!

I have the same problem, but after restarting cups for several times, the problem still didn't go away. Printing worked fine yesterday, today suddenly it won't.

The BrowseOrder directive (used in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf) stopped working for me after the last update I ran. Removing it allowed cups to start properly.
What is the output from running:
systemctl status cupsd
That should identify any problems.

I'm having the same problem. I just installed cups (never used my printer with my arch box yet) but I can't connect to the cups server.
