    I broke my printer today, or maybe I broke CUPS?

    Suddenly my printer stopped working, after some upgrades this afternoon.

    Error logs

    I've googled it a bit and searched in this forum but I have no idea where to go from here. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You show the installation command: sudo apt install, but are you updating the package cache beforehand: sudo apt update

    The package cache needs to be updated before attempting to install a package. Also of importance, are you dist-upgrading (fullupgrade when using apt as opposed to apt-get) your system? There is a huge difference between doing upgrade vs fullupgrade. The sequence of commands should be:

    sudo apt update [this updates the package cache]
    sudo apt full-upgrade [this performs a 'smart' update of installed packages on your system and handles package dependencies 'intelligently']
    sudo apt install new_package(s) [if wanting to install new packages]

    So you might want to try:

    sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade && sudo apt install --reinstall cups

        Time to clean up your package database.

        Repeat the two commands until they don't do anything.
        sudo apt-get -f install
        sudo dpkg --configure -a

        Then follow those with
        sudo apt-get autoremove

        There is a dandy little script called "ucaresystem-core" that does the updates, uploads, autoremove and cleans up the debris in one shot.
        It is here.

        Once CUPS is removed and the damage cleaned up then reinstall CUPS.

          Thanks for the response GreyGeek. I d/l the uCareSystem script but it wouldn't accept my root password. Wierd. I did it manually, repeatedly with the commands you gave and always got the same responses. In the end I'm right where I started.

            Downgrade any cups packages that are 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.2 back down to 2.1.3-4

            There was an update going into the ubuntu xenial-updates that was pulled, but obviously you got part of it before it was completely got rid of.

                You missed the equals (=).

                sudo apt-get install cups=2.1.3-4

                Without it, apt sees the 2.1.3-4 as a another package name.

                    Well, yes. You need to downgrade/install ALL the cups related packages you have installed at version 2.1.3-4ubuntu0.2 down to 2.1.3-4.

                    sudo apt-get install cups=2.1.3-4 libcups2=2.1.3-4

                    etc... for them all in one line.

                    do apt update and clear the cache to make sure you don't get the wrong version again

                      I appreciate your patience but I'm just not getting it. as far as I can tell the files with "ubuntu0.2" are cups, libcups and cups-core-drivers. I ran the below command and got pretty much the same results. Sorry if I'm being dense. (does all this info help or is only the last paragraph with the errors necessary?)

                        Retry the two commands I gave earlier, repeating them until they return nothing or do nothing.
                        If you have Synaptic or Muon installed open it and search for each of the packages with cups in its name. Select "Completely remove" (i.e., purge) for all of them and apply.

                        If Synaptic or Muon can't do the job then open a Konsole and issue
                        sudo dpkg -P <packagename>
                        for each package with CUPS in its name.
                        After removing all of them run ucaresystem-core to clean things up.
                        Reboot just to start fresh.
                        Now install the default CUPS package and its dependencies.

                          GreyGeek's suggestion of just removing all cups stuff is pretty brute force, but if you are having no luck getting a downgrade of the wrongly upgraded packages to work, then could be the way to go.

                            Well, one way or another the problem is solved. Thanks for the help and commendable patience.

                              There is a general rule about the amount of time used to fix a problem. It many cases it is quicker and easier to just do a reinstall from the LiveUSB, unless you have a really complicated setup with LOTS of apps and data. Generally, 20 minutes for a fresh install and 2 hours to add additional apps and data from a backup. (You do keep backups, don't you?). So, if you spend, say, 3 hours trying to fix a problem and have made no headway it is better to simply reinstall.

                              When you say "one way or another" it suggests you either did a fresh install, switched to a different distro, or decided Linux wasn't for you. Which is it?
