in order to use the rc.d scripts, the variable needs to be set to Yes in 
rc.conf.  the warning is telling you that you need to add the line

cupsd= Yes

to your /etc/rc.conf file.  That allows the rc script to start the 
application.

your other problem probably is caused by the fact that cups is not running.
