CUPSD process not running!

I found out that my printers are no available because the cupsd process is not running. I used the Printer Setup repair program it starts the process but at the next restart it turns off again.The log shows this:

Oct 12 00:53:49 pm4 /Applications/Utilities/Printer Setup Utility.app/Contents/MacOS/Printer Setup Utility: cupsd's bootstrap server port not found

What can I do to keep this on so I can see my printers?

Are these the same files you were missing?

/private/etc/cups/classes.config

/private/etc/cups/ppds.dat

If so, where are they?
