Uh, no!  The only process found was the process running the grep.   Take
a closer look.  If cupsd was running, the grep would have printed 2
lines, like:

> root      1364  0.0  0.0   3892   660 pts/2    S+   01:14   0:00 grep cupsd

What does "chkconfig --list cups" tell you?

mine shows:

> cups            0:off   1:off   2:on    3:on    4:on    5:on    6:off
