DetailsAt first everything worked fine. Then I have waited some time too long when I should have selected a printer driver for my Brother MFC-9840CDW. The add-a-new-printer task interrupted itself likely due to a wait timeout and the internal cups database apparently got corrupted because on adding a new printer I now always get the following message:
Add Printer Brother_MFC-9840CDW Error Unable to get list of printer drivers: Success Add Printer Brother_MFC-9840CDW Error Unable to get list of printer drivers: Success Deleting everything under /var/cache/cups has not helped; neither reinstalling all cups related packages. See for the error_log with loglevel debug for more details. It is apparently the /usr/lib/cups/daemon/cups-driverd list 1 0 requested-attributes=all ppd-make='Brother' ppd-make-and-model='Brother MFC-9840CDW' which fails. It lasts a long time with 100% CPU usage and finally it seems to be killed as a result of having got stuck.

resolved simply by uninstalling gutenprint; that made the database of available pritners change and thus it got regenerated this time without errors.

This is actually a bug in the gutenprint package; as soon as I reinstall it the error is here again.
