Let us see. I HAVE explained I have done nothing to alter what existed from "stock" in Jessie (when cups) did work from the browser, right? Now it does not and I HAVE DONE NOTHING other than upgrading from stable to testing. And cups does not work. Now how would your question address this issue?
You want to see output published here on the list but your email does not really exist, so you read the list from elsewhere. That makes me wonder with who or what am I talking to. $ whereis cupsd.conf cupsd: /usr/sbin/cupsd /usr/share/man/man8/cupsd.8.gz $ ls -al /usr/sbin/cup* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 174416 Jan 19 15:44 /usr/sbin/cups-browsed -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27980 Feb 16 2016 /usr/sbin/cups-genppdupdate -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10232 Jan 18 15:06 /usr/sbin/cupsaccept -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10232 Jan 18 15:06 /usr/sbin/cupsaddsmb -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10232 Jan 18 15:06 /usr/sbin/cupsctl -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 416328 Jan 18 15:06 /usr/sbin/cupsd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 18 15:06 /usr/sbin/cupsdisable -> cupsaccept lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 18 15:06 /usr/sbin/cupsenable -> cupsaccept -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 26920 Jan 18 15:06 /usr/sbin/cupsfilter lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Jan 18 15:06 /usr/sbin/cupsreject -> cupsaccept Anything else I can help you with? Because it doesn't seem any more that I am seeking help from someone who wants to help but from someone who wants to interrogate and arrogantly wants to make anybody seem inferior. If that really matters to you, I do not know and I do not wish to compete with any experts for the position of the expert. It is not even that extreme for me to make the damn printer work. BUT If CUPS worked and one does nothing to affect it (consciously at least because I'd rather do work than be fiddling with debian bugs) and after some upgrade/update it doesn't I suspect it is a bug on behalf of the system and not MY PROBLEM. Because if I had left the damn thing alone unupdated in its old stable state I wouldn't be here asking questions. I suspect this is not what DEBIAN as a community want or expect. Now if we can address the issue and not the bearer of the symptom we can become constructive again.
