You are refering to the vendor preset of the mentioned service ?

On my tumbleweed system the vendor preset is "enabled" for all mentioned
services.

$ systemctl status cups.path
...
 (/usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.path; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

$ systemctl status cups.socket
...
(/usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.socket; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
