Because there is no logging for cups I have done some basic checks:

It did not help to change the group of /var/log/cups to lpadmin!
So I tried to delete the directory and let it be created new with
dpkg-reconfigure cups-daemon
Job failed. See "journalctl -xe" for details.

There is a problem with apparmor!
apparmor must have been altered by the upgrade, it was not touched in
any way.
In /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd we find that the log path is enabled
for writing:
/var/log/cups/ rw,
/var/log/cups/* rw,
There is only the chance to disable apparmor for cups with:
aa-disable /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd
Afterwards cups could add a printer and is working again.
So this bug will be pushed to apparmor now, because the apparmor profile
(from 2007) does not fit for cups anymore.
