Public bug reported: Mon 24 Jun 2024 05:10:59 PM PDT
Environment: Ubuntu 20.04, can't print to local printer Settings->Printers gives diagnostic: "Sorry, printing service doesn't seem to be available" This has been working correctly for 4 years until today following boot + install patches. Problem was traced to an incorrect version of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf that seems to have come from a patch cluster this morning. The solution is as follows: sudo -i # cd /var/log/cups # view error_log # discover error in cups initialization # cd /etc/cups # diff cupsd.conf* < LogLevel warn --- > LogLevel debug < Listen /run/cups/cups.sock --- > Listen localhost:631 # grep Listen cupsd.conf # duplicate "Listen" on socket Listen /run/cups/cups.sock Listen /run/cups/cups.sock # cp -p cupsd.conf.O cupsd.conf # restore old conf file # systemctl restart cups.service # restart cups # ps -e | grep cups # is the daemon running? 6082 ? 00:00:00 cupsd Looks like this corrupt conf file escaped from the dev crew by accident. ljweiss...@frontier.com ** Affects: cups (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2070315 Title: error in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf from today's patch To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/2070315/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
