Bug Description

I made a fresh install from scratch of Xenial Xerus 16.04 Mate, my printer is a Brother HL-2140.
The printer was working well until I decided to share it, because I have other two pcs that use the printer.
So I opened the printer manager from the menu, I checked the "Share" box in the printer window, then I opened the "Server Configuration" and I checked the "Publish shared printers" box and the "Allow printing from Internet" box.
Starting from that moment my printer is no more able to print because each time that prints one sheet automatically collect a second sheet (as if it was the same sheet, probably an error in paper size) and obviously an error occurs and everything get blocked.
Unfortunately even if I unpublished and unshared the printer, the error persist so now I can't print, I suspect that the Server is the guilty and I wish to try to "Desconnect" the server to prove it, but I don't know how to do it.
