Bug description:

I have updated to the latest cups-filters version to fix the bug as described by bug report #1579905 but I still get that Ubuntu takes very long to shutdown.

For now, I have simply disabled cups-browser and I manually start it up every time I need to print something.

It is probably related to

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=832637

as Till has described in #1579905. I tried to download and compile the upstream version at BZR as suggested for Debian but I ended up not being able to print anymore and instead went back to the current version in the package distribution.

Hopefully, there is an easy fix for Ubuntu 16.04 as well.
