Public bug reported:
When changing print server settings:
gnome-control-center -> Devices -> Printers -> Additional Printer
Settings ... => system-config-printer.py is started -> Server Settings
-> PreserveJobHistory No
CUPS will automatically be restarted but does not come up any more
because /etc/cups/cupsd.conf now only contains one single line:
PreserveJobHistory No
###
Fortunately the old configuration is stored in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.O.
