I don't know the details of OpenWrt, but as is is a Linux descendant, I 
suppose there is a configuration file or database which specifies what 
services to start in what runlevel. There should be a configuration tool 
(like chkconfig in most Linux distos).

Make sure that cups gets started in the runlevel you have specified.
