Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: system-config-printer
I don't know what happened to CUPS but on my sister's and my
girlfriend's computers, it has cut out quietly and, of course, disabled
their ability to print. All that fixed the problem in both cases was
running 'sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys restart'. This is not available via the
GUI.
Since Ubuntu is trying to make their system more GUI-friendly without
the necessity to use the command-line, I propose adding 'restart',
'stop' and 'start' to System > Administration > Printing ... Server (as
a new menu choice).
This will remove the need to tell users to type in 'sudo
/etc/init.d/cupsys restart' in the CLI.
** Affects: system-config-printer (Ubuntu)
