Bug Description
Binary package hint: cups
After upgrade to Maverick I cannot print on two computers. Both computers failed the upgrade to Maverick because of a hung 'start cups'-process. I had to kill it to be able to continue with the upgrade.
If I do 'sudo start cups' it just hangs indefinitely.
I did 'dpkg --force-all --purge cups cups-common' and 'rm -rf /etc/cups' and then reinstalled it. Same problem?! Reinstalling failed until I manually killed the 'start cups'-process.

Maybe a strace of 'start cups' can be useful so I'm attaching it.
