On my system, it hung on the post-start hook's first line, where the hook waits for the appearance of /var/run/cups/cups.sock. This was caused by me commenting out the Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock line in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf. I thought I had to to enable remote connections (adding a Listen *:631 instead), but I have now realised both can be present without issues. Uncommenting the Listen directive removed the problem. The /etc/init/cups script needs a less stupid check for the presence of a server, or at least some way of terminating the eternal loop looking for the server sock.
