It sounds like cups is broken in some way. Try stopping the process

Try installing the printer again.
If that fails then you could try removing cups completely and
installing it again in case there's something not quite write with it:
sudo apt-get -purge cups
sudo apt-get install cups
When you do the purge, look at see what it is going to remove.
Removing some of these low level modules can take out more than you
expect.
How did you install Ubuntu (wubi, whole disk, alongside)? From a
LiveCD or did you do an on-line install/upgrade?. Are you running
32bit or 64 bit?
Test the drivers and the cups program by installing the Kyocera
printer as a parallel port printer. Does it still fail?
I'm really impressed with cups and the drivers in 12.04. You might
consider a full upgrade to the new release.

I have a Kyocera FS1010 laser printer. I have tried attaching it
to my ubuntu box using the usb port. Ths system finds the printer
and tries to load the drivers but then comes up with a CUPS Server
internal error.
Originally the kyocera was attached to my windows box as a shared
printer and I could see it form the ubuntu box, but following the
upgrade to 10.04 I started getting the CUPS error.
How can I fix it so that I can use the kyocera as a usb printer on
the ubuntu box?

I have reinstalled CUPS but the problem still remains. I can get my
Samsung colour laser printer to work through the usb port but not yhe
Kyocera FS1010. I am using 12.04 ubuntu.
By the way even when connected to the windows box as a shared printer
the ubuntu box cannot use the Kyocera.
Any suggestions welcome.
