So most probably this is not a CUPS bug as the files missing do not
belong to CUPS. The bug is probably caused by whatever package which
contains the program which removes the files. As the files belong to
snakeoil I add a snakeoil task, perhaps the maintainer of snakeoil knows
better how these files can disappear.

Title:
  printing service not available after recent upgrade

Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in ssl-cert package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Prior to a recent update, the wireless printer worked fine, now the
  system settings printing configuration says that "Printing service not
  available. Start the service on this computer or connect to another
  server." The "Start Service" button is greyed out leaving just the
  "Connect" button. When clicked it brings up a dialog asking where the
  cups server is located, default is localhost, and an unchecked
  checkbox for "Require encryption." Click the "Continue" button and get
  an error message: "There was an error during the CUPS operation:
  'failed to connect to server'."

  Looking at the cups error log, this message is printed:
  E [15/Mar/2015:09:26:48 -0400] "/etc/cups/ssl/server.crt" is a bad symlink - No such file or directory
  E [15/Mar/2015:09:26:48 -0400] "/etc/cups/ssl/server.key" is a bad symlink - No such file or directory

  It seems the ssl-cert package's snakeoil certs were removed by
  something, reinstalling that package restored the ssl files the above
  links point to.
