Description:
The pid file (/var/run/cups.pid) is empty.
This is because >>PID=`pidof -o %PPID -x /usr/bin/cdvserver`<< evaluates to nothing, if
cups isn't already running. so in start) case >>echo $PID > /var/run/cups.pid<<
evaluates to >>nothing > /var/run/cups.pid<<

Solution:
Change >>echo $PID > /var/run/cups.pid<< to >>echo `pidof -o %PPID -x /usr/bin/cdvserver` > /var/run/cups.pid<<
