Peter,

I had a similar problem in that my cups server kept dying unpredictably.
I finally figured out I had a configuration problem in cupsd.conf.  

You might try running "cupsd -f" in the foreground or increasing the
amount of logging by changing LogLevel to debug2
in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.  I finally found my configuration error and was
able to fix it.
