1. I am running 1.8.3-2ubuntu3 and the core issue still happens (and Martin says that version has the fix Till mentions).
2. Manually stopping cups-browsed (via "sudo systemctl stop cups- browsed.service") completes immediately, whether I am on the network or not. After manually stopping cups-browsed, shutdown then completes as expected. 3. Separately, doing the steps Martin recommends in comment #6 to modify the shutdown order has mixed results. 2 out of 4 times shutdown quickly as expected. 2 out of 4 times, the system hung at the point of having the Unity interface and the shutdown window on the screen (i.e., it didn't even get to the point where it was originally hanging, which was on the logo splash screen). I was just booting and quickly shutting down, so this strange behaviour could be related to that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1591274 Title: cups-browsed hangs on shutdown Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have a new XPS13, running an up-to-date 16.04. The shutdown process takes ages - something is clearly getting stuck. It eventually completes, but is (or seems like) several minutes.
