How to start CUPS?

I installed CUPS from pkgin and there is no script in /etc/rc.d to start it. 
Should there be one?

The computer is a laptop; usually it's at home, and I'll want to print on the 
printer connected to chausie, which also has CUPS. I don't know if, when I'm 
away, I'll want to print on a printer local to where I am, or on the one on 
chausie. Should I tell chausie to allow printing from the local network, or 
forward a port from dogla to chausie's port 631? The latter is how I read my 
mail when away; a port on dogla is forwarded to chausie's IMAP port, and 
kmail and thunderbird both are set up to read mail on the port.
