Title:
  /etc/cups/printers.conf rewritten with wrong information at every
  reboot

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  When I boot up my system, /etc/cups/printers.conf has the wrong device
  URI for my printer.  I've tried:

  A) correcting it through the cups web GUI at localhost:631

  B) substituting a corrected printers.conf by hand by performing:
  service cups stop
  cp -a /etc/cups/printers.conf.correct /etc/cups/printers.conf
  service cups start

  Both means correct the problem, and I can print again... UNTIL I
  reboot.  After the next boot, the incorrect URI is back in
  printers.conf and I can't print again.

  I can't find where the bad URI is respawning from.
  find /etc /var /home -type d -exec grep -H <bad_IP_address_from_URI> '{}' \; -print
  comes up with nothing.  It's got to be cached somewhere, though it appears not in textual form.  Where does this bad URI keep growing back from and how do I stop it?!?!?
