Hi All
Not sure if this will go as just changed my Broadband supplier and it
may not be set up correctly yet.
It appears to be corrected since another update as it's now working on
the PC. Still sorting out my laptop as the file system was corrupted
(my fault!!).
Assuming it's been sorted for now till I get the LT fixed.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Clive,
For the last 4 days I'm having trouble with CUPS not working.
...
I could not see what's stopping CUPS from connecting. Can't 'see' any
of the printers both on my laptop and the PC.
Are all the printers accessed over the network?
Cups still not running.
That's a different symptom. I'll assume you just mean CUPS still isn't
spotting any network printers.
Have tried running 'Timeshift' and that worked on the PC, untill
I rebooted.
What have you changed since the backup which Timeshift restored?
Particularly regarding firewall rules as perhaps that's stopping access
to the printers.
For printer discovery, I think Avahi might be needed based on a skim of
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS/Troubleshooting so you could see
if
systemctl status avahi-daemon.service
says
Active: active (running) ...
in the first few lines of output.
