there is another solution here without installing avahi daemon:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2139407&p=12626669
open /etc/init/cups.conf in your texteditor, probably sudo leafpad
change:
start on (filesystem
and started avahi-daemon
and (started dbus or runlevel [2345]))
stop on runlevel [016]
into:
start on (filesystem
and (started dbus or runlevel [2345]))
stop on runlevel [016]

Bug description:
1) Raring daily Lubuntu 13.04 i386
2) system-config-printer 1.3.11
3) I expected the printer to be detected without a cups error. The printer
was not detected.
4)
1) When selecting Printer from the System Tools menu the Printers-localhost
dialog box appears with the following message.
'Printing service not available. Start the service on this computer or
connect to another server.'
2) After clicking the connect button once the 'Connect to CUPS server' box
appears.
3) After clicking the connect button on this message box the Cups server
error box appears with the following dialog.
There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'failed to connect to server'.
[IMPACT]
As the standard installation of Lubuntu does not include avahi-daemon
CUPS does not get started as the Upstart script for CUPS requires
avahi-daemon to be started first. Therefore there is no printing
functionality for Lubuntu users even with the printing stack being
installed by default.
[TESTCASE]
Do a standard installation of Lubuntu and run
lpstat -r
in a terminal. The CUPS daemon is not running.
The proposed package adds a dependency to the cups-daemon binary
package pulling in avahi-daemon and so CUPS will start during boot.
Check with
lpstat -r
in a terminal window.
[Regression Potential]
Low. An additional package gets installed, but this package is already
well-known and work well in other Ubuntu flavors.
