Package: cups-common
Version: 1.7.5-11+deb8u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I was not able to modify any printers anymore. So somehow my config got broken
and I was not able to figure out why.
Usual way to fix such a problem is to purge the package and config.
apt-get purge --auto-remove cups cups-common
(and then manualy removing /etc/cups/ as the post install script could not
remove it because
not empty)
and then: apt-get install cups
This results in a broken installation as /etc/cups/cupsd.conf is not created.
What could be the cause of the problem?

You have outlined the assumption you made in your other mail so I think
we can be confident there is no bug in cups or cups-daemon. Hence I am
closing the report.
Thank you for your speedy reply and the attention to detail.
Happy printing!
Brian.
