OK, I'm guessing your system doesn't have enough entropy to generate the
self-signed key, which is blocking things.

If you just create your own SSL certificate and private key (just follow
any Apache tutorial for making a self-signed cert) and tell cupsd to use
it (ServerCertificate and ServerKey directives) then this problem should
just go away.

Unfortunately, OpenSSL does not provide any way to protect against this,
unlike GNU TLS on Linux... :(
