Common Unix Printing System
(Common Uncomfortable Pain Somewhere*)
*Yes we mean "there".
Over the years I have logged/wasted/learned for countless hours.
Basics
To restart local printer services you need.
sudo service cups restart
To restart the network broadcast(sharing) and browsing(using others) you need.
sudo service cups-browsed restart && sudo service cups restart
Next Level
Usually best to just start over by running three commands.
sudo apt-get install --reinstall cups cups-browsed cups-client cups-common cups-daemon cups-server-common
then:
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
You can check the statuses with
service cups status
service cups-browsed status
