It actually generates one at run-time the first time you use
encryption (if none is already installed).
The errors you are seeing indicate that you already have another
server on port 443 - I'd guess Apache is already running on that
port.
FWIW, CUPS supports SSL and non-SSL connections on the same port
number, so "https://localhost:631" will work with your current
configuration.
