I've had the same problem when updating to
cups_1.4.4-6ubuntu2.2_amd64.deb. I suspect it's due to this bug:

I tried the proposed workaround in bug 672438, as pointed by ceylon, and

/proc/self/fd/12

The first time I tried the update with 'apt-get upgrade', it hung on 'cups
stop'. I killed the process, and apt continued, complaining it did not
install everything.
I then stopped (had to kill -9) cups manually, and tried the upgrade again.
This time it hung on 'cups start'. I again killed the
The problem seems to be the execution of 'start cups'... running
'/etc/init.d/cups restart' while the post-installation script is hanging
at least *seems* to resolve the issue here.
