It's sometimes important to verify whether a process is running by
entering

  ps auxww | grep cups

because normal ps output is limited to 80 characters; and in case of
cupsd, the command shown by ps may be something like
"/usr/local/sbin/cupsd" which may extend beyond column 80.

Don't know whether that's the case here, but may be.
