Public bug reported:
The Cups trouble shooter claimed it couldn't find log files saying it was
possible the it wasn't running as an administrator (which was correct). It
asked me to run
su -c 'journalctl -u cups.service --since="None" --until="2016-09-27
18:17:05"' > troubleshoot-logs.txt
which failed for 2 reasons
1. I don't know the cups.service password (so I ran the command as root)
2. the None specification for "--since" is not valid
Also the cups logs showed that cups couldn't create
/var/spool/cups/tmp/.hplip but didn't say what caused the failure (turns
out it already existed - shouldn't be an error!)
