Try as I might I cannot reproduce this behaviour. Please send your
cupsd.conf and cups-files.conf. Also do

  strace -o log cupsctl

and send log.

cupsd.conf.default should be the same as the cupsd.conf you started
with, Save the present copy and put cupsd.conf.default in its place.
Restart cups.  ('service cups restart'). Any change?

Those look fine.

You have debug logging enabled. Empty /var/log/cups/error_log

  >/var/log/cups/error_log

and do 'cupsctl'. Add error_log to the attachments you send here.
