I would recommend that you go to Printer Setup Utility.  Under the 
Printer Setup Utility menu, there is an option to Reset the Printing 
System.  Please do so.  That will place a new copy of the cupsd.conf 
file in place.

Next go to Disk Utiltiy (/Applications/Utilities) and Repair Permissions 
on your hard drive.  Then use Printer Setup Repair to set the 
`hostconfig` file so that it reads CUPS=-YES-.  

If all that fails, I would suggest that you reapply the OS X 10.4.10 
combo updater to re-update your system.  The combo updater has a proven 
track record of causing few if any problems when updating as compared to 
the delta update you get from Software Update.
