Daniel, 

could you please look into your cupsd.conf, if you there have a directive 
reading
RequestRoot some_absolute_or_relatiove_path
where "some_absolute_or_relative_path" is different from 
"/private/var/spool/cups" ?

What disturbes me is that error message you posted tells "No such file or 
directory". That sould mean that the environment variable CUPS_REQUESTROOT 
isn't set correctly.
