Unfortunatelly CUPS scheduler daemon isn't desined to launch from
inetd. I'm sorry but I set wontfix tag to your wish.

You can ask it to upstream developers again, but in my opinion they
won't like it.

More detail,
1. To launch from inetd, daemon needs a specific routine to exit after all
   jobs are done.
2. CUPS daemon works always at background, not only job
   spooling. Broadcasting or listening informations on the network,
   job scheduling, and so on.

Thanks,
