cups server error after dist. upgrade to 16.04

[Janos G. Komaromi]

Yes - similar bug, but NO, not the same bug: There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'failed to connect to server'. Cannot print with my machine since I ran dist. upgrade.

Hello Janos,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with cups. You made this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu has been updated since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you let us know, and in the current version, run the following (only once):
apport-collect BUGNUMBER
and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.

Hi G,

Thank you for following up on this item. Fortunately, I can report that
this is no longer a problem. Since I reported the bug my laptop died and
I was able to transfer the complete Ubuntu system to the hard drive of a
new HP laptop. It came with a W10 installation and EFI booting, but
managed to boot automatically to Ubuntu and, of course, I use
exclusively the Ubuntu boot ever since. No issues since that time with
updates, cups or anything else.

I wish to thank the Ubuntu Team for their efforts to provide a decent
open source Linux distro.
