CUPS service not starting after upgrade to F15

[Javier Perez]

Clyde: cupsd -f is supposed to hang :)

Remember, cupsd is a daemon that usually sits in the background doing
nothing until it is time to print. Anytime it wants to say something it
either talks to the client, the printer or writes it on any of its three
logs (access, error, page).

When you start cupsd with the "-f" option, you are forcing it into the
"foreground", meaning that any message it sends is written to the console
where it is invoked from in addition to its normal working.

Therefore if you run cupsd -f, the expectation is that it will just sit
there and do nothing and you would have to press CTRL-C to stop it.

In a few words, given that cupsd -f did not complain, and that systemctl
start cups.service is working fine, I think you no longer have any problem
with cups. Congratulations
