Known problem.
Reason is that ypbind (and probably all Sun RPC related programs)
search for any free port >512 (or some value like this)
and if port 631 is not yet in use they may grab it.
Note that any other program or service can also bind to port 631
(i.e. this time it was ypbind but another time it may be anything
else).

As far as I know there is no config file to tell ypbind
(and probably all Sun RPC related programs) not to use
port 631.

Therefore you must use a workaround:
Try to start cupsd before ypbind.
How to do this depends on the init system you use.
