If you have to start this correectly, you won't miss them. 
But i must agree, the first time is hard to configure.

It sounds like a dependency problem of services. Do you startup cups
after the network setup?

Restarting manually is just only starting at last.

Just increase ther debug level of cups, reboot the machine and read the
logs carefully. cupsd must complain some "missing parts".

Try to connect after the startup via browser to the webinterface. OK?
