yes but how do you open as root? dolphin wont let you open and dolphin wont start as root.
sudo systemctl enable cups.service fixed it for me.
Linux noob here. I haven’t needed to print in awhile. I opened a Term session at /etc/cups sudo rm cupsd.conf but how do I replace the file with cupsd.conf.default?
Thanks. It’s obviously not working for me but, not a huge deal, I’m obviously here because it wasn’t working anyway. That an update broke my ability to print 
…I printed a small PDF and pages of gibberish were coming out—I just yanked the plug from my printer. I don’t even know how to kill print jobs in Linux.
EDIT: sudo cp cupsd.conf.default cupsd.conf then enabled it, opened System Settings > Printers BOOM! It’s there! Baby steps…
Hi
I’m stuck at line 4 (sudo systemctl enable --now cups.service)
Job for cups.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See “systemctl status cups.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
Noob, so not sure what to do next …
