Here is the comment I just added to that bug:

The issue is that the upstart cups configuration file tells it to start
only when the filesystem, dbus, and avahi-daemon are started.  And
avahi-daemon is not included in the Lubuntu 13.04 that the LiveCD
installs by default.  See /etc/init/cups.conf .

Therefore, the workaround/fix is to install avahi-daemon (which is
needed to detect some networked printers anyway).

  sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon -y

will do that.  Then a reboot:

  sudo shutdown -r now

will get you Lubuntu with a running and working cupsd.
