What does /var/log/cups/error_log say?

If that doesn't exist, create it and access_log with these permissions:

-rw-r--r--  1 root  daemon    58323 Jul 23 18:28 access_log
-rw-r--r--  1 root  daemon   117363 Jul 23 18:28 error_log

Then run cups.sh again and check error log, you will probably need to
create more directories.
