Failed to restart ccpd.service: Unit cups.service failed to load!

As cups.service has been renamed to `org.cups.cupsd.service`, ccpd is stil using cups.service!
I've installed capt-src driver to activate my LBP Canon printer.

sudo systemctl start org.cups.cupsd.service ---> Worked
sudo systemctl start ccpd.service ----> Oops! NOT worked

This is the error that I get when I try to start ccpd:

Failed to restart ccpd.service: Unit cups.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

You should let the maintainer of the AUR package know. You can find his e-mail at the top of the PKGBUILD.

Re: Failed to restart ccpd.service: Unit cups.service failed to load!

As an immediate fix, simply edit the service file:

# nano /usr/lib/systemd/system/ccpd.service

to read

[Unit]
Description=Canon CAPT daemon
Requires=org.cups.cupsd.service
After=org.cups.cupsd.service

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/ccpd

[Install]
WantedBy=printer.target

Reload systemd, scanning for new or changed units:

# systemctl daemon-reload

and start the CAPT daemon:

# systemctl start ccpd.service

The CAPT daemon should now be running with two instances:

# systemctl status ccpd.service

● ccpd.service - Canon CAPT daemon
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/ccpd.service; enabled)

I don't know if you have contacted the package maintainer as suggested, but I have left a comment on the capt-src AUR page to say that the service file needs to be updated.

Please mark the thread as solved if this fixes your problem
