What is maddening is that right after I boot, printing works. After
awhile it stops working.

Running: systemctl |grep cups
returns:
cups.path loaded active running
cups.service loaded active running
cups.socket loaded active running

When I run: systemctl restart cups.service
printing works again.

So it is not the interference of the network starting that is causing
the problem. Do I need to file a Bugzilla?
