That's not true for Debian's init scripts. It should say
Starting print service: cups.
or something like that (I don't have cups installed).
If it says nothing at all, that usually means that either it's not
installed (but the init.d script remains because it WAS installed but
then purged) or it's been configured not to run by something like
/etc/default/cupsys.
I suggest checking /etc/default/cupsys.
