That rather sounds as if the cups daemon isn't running. Look for /var/log/cupsd error files, which might illuminate the real error, since no printer is going to work on a modern linux install without its running and waiting for a print request. Cheers, Gene Heskett
Only entries in /var/log/cups/error_log are: Duplicate listen address "/var/run/cups/cups.sock" ignored.E [06/Aug/2017:00:05:22 +0100] Unknown directive JobPrivateAccess on line 83 of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.

I've never touched cupsd.conf directly so Im not sure whats messed it up.Ive just printed something sucessfully from GIMP and LibreOffice and both a JPEG & PDF from Vivaldi and cupsd is listed in the output from ps yet the web interface is not listening on port 631.
Printing issue is intermittent, but without being able to get into the CUPS interface Im not sure which driver it is currently configured to use.
