I had a similar issue. What I noticed in the error_logs was that the server was binding to IPv6 first (and I have that disabled)

Try the following; 
#Edit the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file to only listen via IPv4
#original line below was listen localhost:631
Listen 127.0.0.1:631
Listen /private/var/run/cupsd

# Since the Cups installer took out the startupitems
#Manually launch Cupsd
sudo cupsd -l
