Denis,

   CUPS does not know if it's serving a single user on a single host or
multiple users on multiple hosts. The scheduler places incoming jobe in the
print queue and sends them off to the appropriate printer when it's ready to
accept them.

   When you first posted your problem none of us thought to ask you to check
that 1) cupsd (the exeucutable daemon) was installed and b) if it had been
invoked.

   Why your distribution suggests a conflict with itself is puzzling; perhaps
there are subtle differences in the specifics that were overlooked when
reading.

   Regardless, as long as it works, just shrug and move on.

Glad you solved the problem,

Rich
