Hello Ted,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with cups. You made
this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu and cups have been updated since then.
Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the
ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to
this bug?
If you are, could you let us know and, in the current version, could you run
the following (only once):
apport-collect 1397491
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this
particular issue.
Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and cups better.

Title:
/etc/init.d/cups restart or stop failure
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I've observed on several occasions that i've been unable to get the
cups daemon to respond to changes in configuration files and have been
unable to log in as administrator via the web interface when i know
that i should be able to; even though i did "/etc/init.d/cups
restart". Finally figured it out! I did "/etc/init.d/cups stop" and
using ps noticed 4 or 5 cupsd processes running! After killing all
these off (oddly enough, a new one was spawned in their place), i did
"/etc/init.d/cups start" and all was well!
Based on my web search (which lead me to try this) this problem has
been around for several years... sigh.
Thanks to whoever might bring sanity to this.
