[00:03] <tomreyn> i think this can be the same issue i ran into on debian recently - one of the configured printers was using a proprietary (brother:) protocol which was no longer supported. i removed this printer and replaced it by a driverless configuration, which let me start everything cups and print through it fine.

[00:14] <kfank_> The Printers dialog shows nothing and just says "Printing service not available.  Start the service on this computer or connect to another server."  I tried "sudo service cups start" which gave the error mentioned above.  The final log msg was "cups.service: Job cups.service/start failed with result 'dependency'".  "ps ax | grep cups" shows no running processes.
[00:16] <tomreyn> okay then it does differ fro my situation because i was able to start cupsd
[00:17] <tomreyn> i.e. you can't access http://127.0.0.1:631 right?
[00:20] <kfank_> Right, no connection

[00:20] -ubottu:#xubuntu- Issue 985 in OpenPrinting/cups "[2.4.9 regression] cupsd don't start when only Listen /path/to/domain/socket is set in conf" [Closed]
[00:22] <tomreyn> do you also have the "No valid Listen or Port lines were found in the configuration file." error message?
[00:22] <tomreyn> sharing the full error message could help
[00:26] <kfank_> https://bpa.st/CV2A
[00:26] <kfank_> I don't see any errors other that what I mentioned.
[00:29] <kfank_> The update log is at https://bpa.st/WL5Q
[00:33] <tomreyn> so it looks like 2.4.1op1-1ubuntu4.9 introduced this potential regression for you
[00:34] <tomreyn> you could file a bug using   ubuntu-bug cups
[00:34] <kfank_> Where do I file a bug?
[00:35] <tomreyn> on your affected computer's terminal
[00:35] <tomreyn> ubuntu-bug cups    is a command you can run there
[00:35] <tomreyn> i.e. run konsole
[00:36] <tomreyn> i mean terminal-emulator
[00:36] <kfank_> Oh, interesting.  It's integrated. Okay
[00:36] <kfank_> who knew?
[00:36] <kfank_> thanks!
[00:42] <tomreyn> you're welcome
