S 10:13 0:00 /bin/sh /snap/cups/1047/scripts/run-cups-browsed ----- come from the CUPS Snap. They are from a wrapper script to start cups-browsed, but in your case the CUPS Snap does not start cups-browsed, as you have a classically installed CUPS and the CUPS Snap is only running as proxy for snapped applications. There is no ยจ../cups-browsed" process, so cups-browsed is currently not running for you.
You have attached gdb to cupsd. The instructions I have posted are for applying when cups-browsed is running and stuck, not after killing it. They only make sense if there are actually 1 or 2 cups-browsed processes hanging in a 100%-CPU busy loop. For your patch on CUPS, which Michael has actually accepted, I am not absolutely sure whether it will solve the problem. If you do not add the "return(NULL);" line, the flow will go into the "return(NULL);" right after the "if () {} else if {}" and so we have no different effect.
