Hello John,

An empty output for the netstat command would imply the cups daemon is
not running. Which would imply something untoward if it happens after
the machine has been rebooted. Does it?

The status of cups can be confirmed with

  systemctl status cups cups.socket cups.path cups-browsed

Please post the output of this command.

Regards,

Brian.
