Principally this kind of problem got already fixed and should not occur again with the cups-daemon 2.2.4-7 package or newer. It is possible that perhaps your /usr/sbin/cupsd file got somehow overwritten by an older version.

So please try at first the following:

sudo apt install --reinstall cups-daemon

Then reboot the system and observe whether this makes the problem going away.

Please report back here.

Since I executed

sudo apt install --reinstall cups-daemon

bug doesn't come up again.

Thanks for the feedback, but "Fix released" means that there is actually released a newer package version which fixes the problem. In your case the bug report was caused by some error on your system, so I mark the bug report as "Invalid".

This bug is not fixed. It just came up again after reboot.

This Bug came again just after shutdown, reboot and logging in to cinnamon.

Any hints, what's wrong with my system?
