Title:
cups server does not start at boottime randomly
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
cups daemon randomly fails to start on system boot, manually typing sudo
service cups restart helps. This tends to freeze Eclipse in function which
enumerates printers; also the Ubuntu System Settings / Printers dialog reports
that it cannot connect to the cups service.
I have tried to look into /var/log/cups/ but there is nothing important:
error_log is empty, error_log.1 contains old logs from 2014;
access_log contains current log messages, but no errors:
$ cat access_log
