无法使用打印服务

抱歉，如果这个问题看起来很熟悉：我尝试了google搜索提出的解决方案，但这些解决方案要么无效，要么对我来说太技术性了。

几天前，我把杯子弄得一团糟，我不记得确切的方式和原因，但最终删除了一些杯子文件。

我已经多次卸载，重新安装了cups，通过软件中心并使用了终端，我还重新安装了cups-daemon，但没有任何变化。

现在，我的本地打印机无法工作。我收到消息“打印服务不可用。在此计算机上启动服务或连接到另一台服务器”。“启动服务”按钮为“灰色”

我试图通过终端重新启动服务

sudo service cups restart

Shell回复到：

cups stop/waiting

然后什么也没有发生，就好像外壳正在“等待”发生的事情一样。我必须执行ctrl-c才能得到提示。

我尝试了帮助菜单中的疑难解答说明，并说“ CUPS打印假脱机程序似乎未在运行。要解决此问题，请从主菜单中选择“系统->管理->服务”，然后查找“杯子”服务”

我不知道Ubuntu 14.04 lts中的“系统->管理->服务”在哪里

我也尝试过：

sudo /etc/init.d/cups start

产生了

cupsd: Child exited with status 1

我有一个类似的问题（lubuntu 16.04），“打印服务不可用”。这种情况使系统无法列出本地USB打印机以供选择。解决了安装CUPS的问题：

sudo apt-get install cups

接下来弹跳服务：

sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart

最后，重新启动机器。

我不需要在Ubuntu 16.04实例上安装CUPS。

我找到了一个解决方案：在论坛上找到了cupsd.conf的原始内容。因此，我通过执行以下操作创建了一个新的cupsd.conf文件：

gksudo gedit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

并复制以下cupsd.conf的原始内容

我保存了它，然后重新启动了服务

sudo service cups restart

然后就成功了。
