Public bug reported:

Environment: Ubuntu 20.04, can't print to local printer
Settings->Printers gives diagnostic:
"Sorry, printing service doesn't seem to be available"
This has been working correctly for 4 years until today following boot +
install patches.
Problem was traced to an incorrect version of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf that seems
to have come from
a patch cluster this morning.
The solution is as follows:
sudo -i
# cd /var/log/cups
# view error_log # discover error in cups initialization
# cd /etc/cups
# diff cupsd.conf*
< LogLevel warn
---
> LogLevel debug
< Listen /run/cups/cups.sock
---
> Listen localhost:631
# grep Listen cupsd.conf # duplicate "Listen" on socket
Listen /run/cups/cups.sock
Listen /run/cups/cups.sock
# cp -p cupsd.conf.O cupsd.conf # restore old conf file
# systemctl restart cups.service # restart cups
# ps -e | grep cups # is the daemon running?
6082 ? 00:00:00 cupsd
Looks like this corrupt conf file escaped from the dev crew by accident.
