The following worked for me:
$ dpkg -l | grep -E '^[a-z][a-z] ' | awk '{print $2}' | grep cups
cups-pdf
cupsys
cupsys-bsd
cupsys-client
cupsys-driver-gimpprint
cupsys-driver-gutenprint
libcupsimage2
libcupsys2
libgnomecups1.0-1
$ sudo aptitude purge cups-pdf cupsys cupsys-bsd cupsys-client
cupsys-driver-gimpprint cupsys-driver-gutenprint
$ sudo dpkg --force-depends --purge libcupsys2
$ sudo aptitude install libcupsys2 cups-pdf cupsys cupsys-bsd
cupsys-client cupsys-driver-gimpprint cupsys-driver-gutenprint
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure cupsys
I then pointed firefox at http://localhost:631 and re-added my
printers. All is fine now.
I only have a network printer (HP JetDirect), so I have no idea
whether this would (or even could) fix issues with USB or parallel
printers. And even with network printers, YMMV.
