After switching the connection of the printer in the printer properties, from USB type to using the printer DNNS, my Canon printer is able to print again. In the make and mode, it shows Canon MG5300 series - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.11. It is puzzling how cups is not able to detect my printer.

Presently, for no reason, it now cannot be recognised. I have checked that the USB connections are working fine.

However, it shows that it failed to connect with CUPS. udev-configure-printer[5761]: failed to connect to CUPS server; giving up I have provide the results to my printer checks below. Appreciate help to reestablish the proper connection of my printer and get it working with Ubuntu 16.04. tail -f /var/log/syslog Feb 2 22:36:38 Eliot kernel: [95807.581378] usb 1-14: New USB device found, idVendor=04a9, idProduct=1754 Feb 2 22:36:38 Eliot kernel: [95807.581387] usb 1-14: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 Feb 2 22:36:38 Eliot kernel: [95807.581391] usb 1-14: Product: MG5300 series Feb 2 22:36:38 Eliot kernel: [95807.581395] usb 1-14: Manufacturer: Canon Feb 2 22:36:38 Eliot kernel: [95807.581399] usb 1-14: SerialNumber: 20EE62 Feb 2 22:36:38 Eliot kernel: [95807.591385] usblp 1-14:1.1: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 42 if 1 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9 pid 0x1754 Feb 2 22:36:38 Eliot kernel: [95807.591527] usb-storage 1-14:1.2: USB Mass Storage device detected Feb 2 22:36:38 Eliot kernel: [95807.593328] scsi host13: usb-storage 1-14:1.2 Feb 2 22:36:38 Eliot systemd[1]: Starting Automatic USB/Bluetooth printer setup (-devices-pci0000:00-0000:00:14.0-usb1-1\x2d14)...
