Unbelievable: After years with Ubuntu-12.04 to 16.04, followed by Linux
Mint up to 19.3 (Ubuntu 18.04), I switched to a fresh new install of
Lubuntu-19.04 a week ago... and have this strange printer disappear
problem for the first time ever!
Today is May 18th, 2019 - that is eight years(!!!) after the last entry
in this list.
How can that be? What's wrong?
--------------------------
My printing system for the last 12-15 years based on cups with the
following setup:
* 1 network laser printer
* 3 "symbolic" printers which are a copy of the former, to set defaults for
particular uses: "monoprinter" (grayscale), "colorprinter" (full color) and
"labelprinter" (use of manual feed)

Besides the different settings in /etc/cups/printers.conf, the DeviceURI
is the same for all four while the UUID differs:

Any help / hint / solution is highly appreciated - TIA.

Title:
printer disappears
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: cups
some days ago I've done a fresh install of ubuntu 10.04.
It's now the second time that when I try to print a document the
printer has disappeared. In the box where one normally selects the
printer there's only the option 'Custom...'
Workaround: reinstallation of the cups package. After reinstallation
the deskjet printer can be selected again.
