I did search the web and AskUbuntu - no solution at hand… So I’m here.
I tried: sudo systemctl status cups.service
I got:

What do I do then ?
The CUPS print spooler does not appear to be running (when it was minutes before). To ‘troubleshoot’ I choose System->Administration->Services from the main menu…but there is no ‘Service’…
