I have noticed that there are a few modules that don't load at start-up.
Here are some useful lines from journal.

Description: Ubuntu 15.04
Release: 15.04

I found this while trying to install iptables-persistent, which didn't work because netfilter failed.

Expected: netfilter to complete configuration

What happened: Netfilter failed as one of it's dependencies where not loaded

This is Ubuntu ARM by the way

I looked and found this site:
https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/failed-to-start-load-kernel-modules/3163/14

I then commented out the required modules for cups, and everything works fine now.

So, cups bug?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
