CUPS is working fine for me, and I haven't seen any bug reports
similar to your description (that's a hint to file one yourself, by
the way :-) ).
I think I will.... I wasn't sure which component was at fault though as
trying to run cupsd was causing me having to do a power reset.
You say that "the backend" is dead: which backend do you
think is the
trouble-maker?
No idea. The backend in question is from /var/log/cups/error_log - it
doesn't say which backend though.
It's easy to disable a backend, just by removing the
executable bit, so it's not difficult to test.
What's it called? /usr/bin/ has cups-calibrate, cups-config, cupsdconf
cupsdoprint and cupstestppd
