Really strange, it seem a cupsd process is responding some way

Is it there something listenting on port 631?

cribrum ~ # /etc/init.d/cupsd stop
 * Stopping cupsd ...                                                                                             
[ ok ]
cribrum ~ # lpstat -t
lpstat: Unable to connect to server

Side notes: 
1) I had to generate /etc/cups/ssl/server.crt 
and /etc/cups/ssl/server.key by hand to connect via https web
