Have you started the cupsd systemd service or is it running?

 systemctl status cupsd.service

Hmm, the service file in my system is cups.service, not cupsd.service. Have you tried

sudo systemctl start cups.service

instead?
Otherwise reinstall cups. Are you using the stable repos or testing?

That's a bit troubling, do you really not have /usr/lib/libsystemd.so.0?

Yeah, you've got a serious problem. Make sure your system is completely up to date, then reinstall libsystemd. I'm surprised the system even boots successfully.

There's a conflict:

Really? I have systemd and libsystemd installed side-by-side just fine.

How about just using pacman, and not a wrapper?

Something is seriously wrong with your installation. Both systemd and libsystemd need to be installed and they do not conflict with each other. As recommended above, try to use the command-line to sort this out.

The correct service name is

org.cups.cupsd.service

.
The following snippet solved the problem for me:

sudo systemctl start org.cups.cupsd.service

.
