I noticed this issue myself yesterday.
Actually, this is a file permission and/or ownership issue on the
configuration file. There are two solutions to this:
1) chmod a+r /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
or
2) chown root.lp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
The CUPS maintainer team shall upload new packages shortly.
My cupsd.conf file had group of lpadmin, if I recall correctly, and I am
fairly certain I also tried "lp" as the group.
I tried a few different work arounds. Just before your email arrived, I did
this, which worked to at least be able to start the printer:
echo Port 631 > /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
I then saved a change on the /admin page, and went into the "edit config"
page. I saw an entire config file. This new config file has user root and
group root.
However, I still could not print out - the printer would stop. I had to go
to /var/spool/cups and change the group of the waiting spool file from root
to lpadmin.
Currently, the new print jobs have user/group of root/lp, and the system is
working. I look forward to an official fix!
Regards,
Moshe
