Your problem may not be the same as Praveen's as he is using a socket
connection. What you have experienced sounds very similar to LP #973270
at

   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/973270 ,

which includes a link to the opinion of upstream CUPS, some printers
affected, error logs, advice and workarounds.

   important
   ---------
       a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package,
       without rendering it completely unusable to everyone.

This fits the description of the reported bug and your situation.

   grave
   -----
       makes the package in question unusable or mostly so, or causes
       data loss, or introduces a security hole allowing access to the
       accounts of users who use the package.

By implication the package would have be unusable for everyone for it to
have this severity. It isn't.

Raising the severity will not bring it back but will prevent a fix
making its way there.
