Never heard of it before, but a search reveals:

In which case you may find useful information on Debian's Wiki: https://wiki.debian.org/SystemPrinting

If the generic advice there doesn't help, you'll want to confirm information such as whether you're on BOSS v8 or an earlier version, whether you recently performed a system upgrade, what printer(s) you're using, etc.

It would help to know the make/model of the printer and how it's connected the computer (e.g., USB, ethernet, etc.).

You might also look in the log files under /var/log/cups/ for some hints as to what went wrong.
