After update to 12.04 beta 2 cups service disappear. I tried to reinstall:

The terminal log reads:

----------
Beállítás: cups (1.5.2-9) ...
start: Job failed to start
invoke-rc.d: initscript cups, action "start" failed.
dpkg: hibás feldolgozás: cups (--configure):
 installed post-installation script alfolyamat 1 hibakóddal kilépett
---------

It seems that CUPS does not start after the update.

Please do

  wget http://people.canonical.com/~pitti/tmp/cups.upstart.debug
  sudo cp /etc/init/cups.conf{,.orig}
  sudo cp cups.upstart.debug /etc/init/cups.conf
  sudo stop cups
  sudo start cups

This should fail again. Please attach /tmp/log here.

After that, please restore the original script again with

  sudo mv /etc/init/cups.conf{.orig,}

Thanks!
