In past, this has always been a corrupt job in /var/spool/cups, although hardly ever happens. I just move Q jobs to another directory and start cups and it always came up. Not today. Also confirmed that /var/spool/cups/tmp is there and intact.

Update:
I deleted the /etc/cups/subscriptions.conf file. Now service is up.
Still interested in any comment. Do not know why this worked. Oh, I am using cups version 1.2.6.

thanks,
