Comment(by kaduk):
 Got a reply to the launchpad bug:
 {{{
 Checking for presence of the file /var/run/cups/cupsd.pid to find out if
 cups is running is more robust in my opinion.

 Anyway if you think lpstat -r needs to return nonzero value if cups isn't
 running this should be reported upstream to CUPS here:
 http://www.cups.org/str.php
 Please also add a link to the upstream str in this bug report.
