    Is the reason maybe, that you missed to execute these commands:

    newhope:alex {646} pkg_info -D cups-base-1.1.18.0_5
    Information for cups-base-1.1.18.0_5:

    Install notice:

    NOTE FOR PACKAGE USERS ONLY:
    ============================
    This package does not create the spool directory, due to limitations in
    the packaging mechanism, or my knowledge of it.

    Once the package is installed, please do the following (as root):

            cd /var/spool
            mkdir -p cups/tmp
            chown -R root:daemon cups
