I have Ubuntu 16.04 which has been perfect until now.
It has been printing perfectly since day one but the other day I got an error which I stupidly failed to write down and I didn't go look at /var/log/syslog.
The error was something about a cups directory gone missing. At this point I had not been messing with any configuration, it just broke all by itself.
I thought rather than me manually create whatever has gone missing, I will fix it by removing and re-installing software.
I removed and re-installed both HP's print software "hplip" and "cups". This seems to have wrecked cups completely. It no longer starts.

On second thoughts, that last line looks like it must be relevant.
How can I get printing working again?

This happened to me too. Working consistently than rebooted to nothing. I found a couple of apparmor-denied messages in syslog but nothing productive.
Then I noticed /etc/cups/cupsd.conf had gone missing. That was the problem.
You could purse-and-install the cups-daemon but it does ship a default-level config file that you can just copy over.
sudo cp /usr/share/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
sudo service cups restart

systemd doesn't appear to be providing a lot of extra information.
I'm no cups expert but a general approach would be to attempt building a system with some integrity by uninstalling the cups packages completely, then reinstalling and then adding printers

As I said in my original question, I had already uninstalled and re-installed cups. Cups has not run since. I did this again first apt remove cups, then apt purge cups. Followed by apt install cups.

I think I managed to reproduce this bug.
In my case, problems arose when I used system-config-printer tool to change one setting - preserving the printer jobs.
After that, the cupsd.conf was reduced to 22 bytes, and cupsd won't start. Replacing the faulty copsd.conf solved the starting of cupsd, but syste-config-tool (1.2.11-2ubuntu1) breakes it again when I try to change that setting on my ubunut 18.10 desktop.
On my system, the tool made cupsd.conf.0 file that was functional:

This happened to me too. Working consistently than rebooted to nothing. I found a couple of apparmor-denied messages in syslog but nothing productive.
Then I noticed /etc/cups/cupsd.conf had gone missing. That was the problem.
You could purse-and-install the cups-daemon but it does ship a default-level config file that you can just copy over.
sudo cp /usr/share/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
sudo service cups restart

I think I managed to reproduce this bug.
In my case, problems arose when I used system-config-printer tool to change one setting - preserving the printer jobs.
After that, the cupsd.conf was reduced to 22 bytes, and cupsd won't start. Replacing the faulty copsd.conf solved the starting of cupsd, but syste-config-tool (1.2.11-2ubuntu1) breakes it again when I try to change that setting on my ubunut 18.10 desktop.
On my system, the tool made cupsd.conf.0 file that was functional:
