My printer stopped working last night. Simply no response from it.
The day before, it worked.
I immediately suspected something in an update. When I tried reinstalling it etc etc it threw an error......mentioning 'cups'
I looked in history of updates, ad there it was..a cups update, done earlier in the day.
I use Timeshift. It had taken a snapshot prior to that update being installed.
I Restored the system to the Snapshot....and the printer works again.
That is why I asked for any error message
It is likely that you do not have Timeshift set up?...yes/no
So to move on, try the below:

Touchpad drivers
The default touchpad driver in this edition is "libinput" (provided by the xserver-xorg-input-libinput package).
If you experience problems with it, you can switch to another driver called "synaptics" (provided by the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package).
To know which driver is used by your input devices, run the following command:
grep -i "Using input driver" /var/log/Xorg.0.log .. . run this in Terminal,
post the result back here....do this first.
When both drivers are installed, "synaptics" takes priority.
To switch to the "synaptics" driver, install it with the command:
apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Then log out and log back in.
To go back to using "libinput", simply remove the "synaptics" driver:
apt remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
Then log out and log back in.
Note: You can also try installing the "evdev" driver (provided by the xserver-xorg-input-evdev).
efault-Release as such a release is not available in the sources
