Hello David, Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with cups. You made this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu has been updated since then. Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug? If you are, could you let us know, and in the current version, run the following (only once): apport-collect BUGNUMBER and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.

It asked me to run su -c 'journalctl -u cups.service --since="None" --until="2016-09-27 18:17:05"' > troubleshoot-logs.txt which failed for 2 reasons 1. I don't know the cups.service password (so I ran the command as root) 2. the None specification for "--since" is not valid Also the cups logs showed that cups couldn't create /var/spool/cups/tmp/.hplip but didn't say what caused the failure (turns out it already existed - shouldn't be an error!)
