I accepted my Kubuntu environment notification of this CUPS update and let it proceed without a backup. Unfortunately, at my next boot after that update my trusty ol' HP PSC750 printer no longer prints. The print jobs are queued up OK, and the top one says it is Prcoessing... but nothing comes out. What default settings might have been reset by this update?
