Title:
  cups crashes with SIGABRT every other printing attempt

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using ubuntu 20.10, cups 2.3.3-3ubuntu1, with a networked Samsung C480
  printer (was automatically detected and set up on installation of the
  system).

  Every other attempt to print fails with a varying message depending on
  the printing app (eg. on libreoffice write, "Cannot start printer").
  Waiting a few minutes and retrying prints successfully.

  Looking at cups.service journal messages while attempting to print, it
  looks like the second printing attempt crashes cupsd

  cupsd[<pid>]: free(): invalid pointer
  systemd[1]: cups.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=6/ABRT
  systemd[1]: cups.service: Failed with result core-dump

  The service then proceeds to restart after a few seconds, and trying
  to print again succeeds. Trying to print once more thereafter triggers
  the issue again.

  I could not find a trace of the coredump, and cuspd's error_log shows
  nothing happening around the crash (it does show some
  "org.freedesktop.ColorManager.AlreadyExists" error messages on
  restart, but I figured this would be normal, I can see the same
  message on other machines that have no printing issues).

  I would expect this kind of event to trigger an apport report, but
  there is no apport popup when it happens. Maybe because it's not a
  user process, not sure (this is not my usual setup, I've not been
  using Ubuntu for years).

  This is a pretty standard (and recent) ubuntu install, with not much
  customized; in particular no apport custom config was made, and
  nothing was configured on cups side or ubuntu print settings,
  everything is set up as it was autodetected on install.

  The same printer works flawlessly on a different computer using Arch
  and cups 2.3.3 as well (albeit without any ubuntu patches, obviously).
