No, none of that is the issue - background processes usually
disconnect from the current console/tty, and in the case of the
cups-polld programs stderr is redirected to a pipe that feeds
back into cupsd so it can log things to the error_log file.  That
is also how filters, backends, CGI programs, etc. are handled by
CUPS...
