This bug was fixed in the package cups - 1.7.0~rc1-0ubuntu3
---------------
cups (1.7.0~rc1-0ubuntu3) saucy; urgency=low
* debian/local/cups-daemon.cups.upstart: Increased timeout for waiting for
the CUPS daemon to get ready before automatically configuring printers
from 3 sec to 30 sec, on slower systems CUPS often needs more than 3
seconds and so the automatic printer configuration does not get done
(LP: #933308).
* debian/cups.dirs: Create empty /etc/cups/interfaces directory
(LP: #499585).

Title:
/etc/cups/interfaces doesn't exist; lpadmin fails to add interface
scripts
Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: cups
/etc/cups/interfaces does not exist by default in Ubuntu (at least not
in Karmic or Jaunty). Normally, one should be able to add interface
scripts for SysV queues with something like:
lpadmin -p myprinter -E -i /path/to/my/interface/script -v
parallel:/dev/lp
However, this fails with "lpadmin: Unable to copy interface script -
No such file or directory!". An strace on the process reveals that
"No such file or directory" in fact refers to the attempt to copy the
interface script into /etc/cups/interfaces.
If I create /etc/cups/interfaces (which exists on every other platform
using CUPS), then the lpadmin command succeeds.
/etc/cups/interfaces should be created by default when cups is
installed.
