OK, you need to register and then start cups...

/sbin/chkconfig cups on
/sbin/service cups start

It looks like the OP is missing something. Even if cups is not
enabled with chkconfig, the service command should still work. It
looks like /etc/init.d/cups script is missing. (I have never checked
to see what happens if the <service> script is there, but not
executable.)

good point - but you are not helping OP with useful things to do
