Yes. Sarge (stable).

Installed, but it doesn't seem to be running.

Nothing.

Usage: /etc/init.d/cupsd {start|stop|restart|force-reload}

It doesn't seem as if "status" is on the parameter list for cupsd.
Starting cupsd again (/etc/init.d/cupsys start) results in no process
being started, and ps aux (as above) does not show "cups" at all.
