I just did a non-upgrade installation of Raring 13.04 Desktop x86 from
DVD (installing from the boot-time prompt, not the Live CD session),
then installed everything the Software Updater offered by default, and
ran into this "Printing service not available" error while trying to
install a USB printer.
The problem is described in Bug 1133794
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/1133794>
I took special note in the comments that though the usual workaround
seems to be to install avahi-daemon, Comment #23 shows that this
introduces a new shutdown/restart problem for some systems.
But the solution from #25 has no reported side-effects. That solution
is to edit /etc/init/cups.conf and in this stanza:
start on (filesystem
and started avahi-daemon
and (started dbus or runlevel [2345]))
stop on runlevel [016]
delete the line "and started avahi-daemon."
So is there a agreed-upon *best* workaround?
