What was in your /etc/cups/client.conf (now /etc/cups/client.conf_bak)? If it pointed to a CUPS on a remote machine, all your CUPS access (from applications/command line, not web interface) was directed to the remote machine with a different CUPS setup. Now you are using always the CUPS on your local machine.
Note that client.conf is deprecated but still working as originally intended (and so often an admin's nightmare). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1598300 Title: cups hang after a while Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: after 6 minutes or so, cups is not responding. it do not produce error on the log, just stop working, worse, it exit with 0 ⌌—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————⌍ |root@cupsmachine :~# systemctl status cups | |● cups.service - CUPS Scheduler | | Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/cups.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)| | Active: inactive (dead) since ven. 2016-07-01 10:31:32 TAHT; 2min 16s ago | | Docs: man:cupsd(8) | | Process: 28686 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/cupsd -l (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) | | Main PID: 28686 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) | | | |juil. 01 10:30:01 appli-client systemd[1]: Started CUPS Scheduler. | ⌎—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————⌏ I got to launch it again, so I have finish with a cron job like */10 * * * * systemctl status cups.service|grep -q 'inactive (dead)' && systemctl start cups but it is a dirty solution.
