I have a solution!

It was bl**dy app-armor preventing cupsd from reading /etc/krb5.keytab (required by PAM/Krb5) and apparantly preventing it writing a ticket cache into /tmp.

used aa-complain /usr/sbin/cupsd to disable AppArmor enforcement and that's fixed the problem.

I wonder how many other ubuntu/CUPS random crash bugs are due to AppArmor?...

*sigh*

This bug may be marked as closed - BUT if you care, you might consider disabling AppArmour, or putting in a big fat hairy warning on the CUPS webpages about it.

Cheers
