This bug was fixed in the package cups-filters - 1.0.28-0ubuntu1
---------------
cups-filters (1.0.28-0ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low
* New upstream release
- cups-browsed: Added daemon to browse the Bonjour broadcasts of
shared remote CUPS printers and automatically add local raw queues
pointing to them, to resemble the behavior of the former CUPS
broadcasting/browsing which was dropped in CUPS 1.6. Now remote
printers appear as local print queues as before, but with the
standardized Bonjour broadcasting (LP: #1086019, LP: #1061063,
LP: #1061069).
* debian/control: Added build dependencies on Avahi, needed for the new
cups-browsed and also a new binary package named cups-browsed.
* debian/cups-browsed.install: New cups-browsed binary package.
* debian/local/cups-browsed.upstart: Upstart configuration file for
cups-browsed.
* debian/rules: Added everything needed so that the cups-browsed daemon gets
started automatically.
* debian/cups-filters.install: Include files from /usr/bin.

Bug description:
Every day I get a 'System Problem Detected' dialog that says that
cupsd has crashed. The symptom is similar to the one described in bug
1034045.
I expected this would be fixed by cups 1.6.1-0ubuntu11, but I have
that version installed and the errors persist. The test case in bug
1034045 does not result in an immediate crash of cupsd. Specifically,
this does not produce a crash on my system:
1. Run 'sudo rm -f /var/crash/_usr_sbin_cupsd.0.crash'
2. Run 'sudo service cupsd restart'
3. Verify that a new /var/crash/_usr_sbin_cupsd.0.crash file has been created
(and if on a desktop, that a new crash notification has been shown).
[IMPACT]
For CUPS users who activate the "Show printers shared by other
systems" in the server settings of system-config-printer or in the
CUPS web interface, so that they automatically get shared remote CUPS
printers listed in print dialogs CUPS crashes regularly, typically
once a day, popping up an Apport dialog to upload the crash info to
Launchpad. Otherwise all is working correctly, there is only the
annoying crash report.
[TESTCASE]
Activate "Show printers shared by other systems" in the server
settings of system-config-printer or run the command
cupsctl --remote-printers
I am not sure whether there must be actually a remote printer to
trigger the crash. So on another computer in the same local network
(or on a virtual machine if you do not have a second computer) create
a CUPS queue and share it. Activate "Published shared printers
connected to this system" in the server settings of system-config-
printer or run the command
cupsctl --share-printers
on that computer. Now observe for some days. Probably you will get a
crash report once a day.
With the proposed package these crash reports are suppressed. CUPS is
still crashing once a day, but Upstart restarts it and no crash report
appears. So the system appears to behave normally. The crash is of no
harm, it is probably triggered by cron job action during the night and
due to Upstart restarting CUPS CUPS is always present. Printing does
not trigger the crash, so print jobs are always executed correctly.
[Regression Potential]
None. No change in any executable which could cause a regression. Only
disadvantage is that not yet discovered crashes for other reasons do
not get visible.
