** Description changed:

  Invoking `/usr/sbin/cupsd -f` simply prints ~`Terminated`[1]. Assuming
  there's no output about the reason at all (i.e. neither to stdout or
  stderr nor to configured logging facilities) I'd suggest to provide it -
  it's overkill to dive into the manual to figure out why the process was
  killed - and assuming the reason is logged somewhere, it'd be nice to
  have a switch (e.g. `--debug-stdout`) to log to stdout regardless of
  which logging facility is configured in the configuration files.
+ 
+ I can't say - and am not eager to know - the reason why the process
+ fails at this point, I'd prefer to seem this issue fixed and see it on
+ my console :)
