DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE. INSTEAD, POST ANY RESPONSES TO THE LINK BELOW. [STR New] Original bug report in Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1036974 When updating Ubuntu to the current development version CUPS got updated from 1.5.3 to 1.6.1. Many users have the obsolete keywords BrowsePoll, BrowseAllow, BrowseDeny, BrowseOrder, and BrowseRemoteProtocols or the obsolete argument "cups" for the still valid BrowseLocalProtocols keyword in their cupsd.conf. At least the obsolete (or perhaps any invalid/mistyped) keywords cause the CUPS daemon to crash. What I expect is that simply an error gets reported in error_log. Stack traces of the crash are attached to the Ubuntu bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1036974/+attachment/3261809/+files/Stacktrace.txt https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1036974/+attachment/3261811/+files/ThreadStacktrace.txt Link: http://www.cups.org/str.php?L4192 Version: 1.6.1
