I’ve found solution here:

Print Service Unavailable: Bad file descriptor

I remember clicking on “Allow users to cancel jobs (not just their own)” and after that it gave me an error. I launched systemsettings5 using the terminal and this was the output (systemsettings5 didn’t crash): libkcups: CUPS-Get-Printers last error: 1282 Bad file descriptor libkcups: Create-Printer-Subscriptions last error: 1282 Bad file descriptor libkcups:…

Hi, in the Update Release Info you can read that CUPS-Service has to restart manualy. For me this fixed the problem:

CUPS update need manual intervention

After you update your system, update your systemd services like this:

sudo systemctl disable --now org.cups.cupsd.socket
sudo systemctl disable --now org.cups.cupsd.service
sudo systemctl disable --now org.cups.cupsd.path
sudo systemctl enable --now cups.service
sudo systemctl enable --now cups.socket
sudo systemctl enable --now cups.path

You only need the socket. Service and socket are redundant. I don’t know what the path is for, but mine is disabled.

sudo systemctl enable --now cups.path

Kisun’s commands worked for me.
