My reckoning is that trying to go back to stable is fraught as there are quite a few important changes in the CUPS packaging since then. You may decide to be wary and just step back to testing but the version there now is what you have removed on unstable. However, if you insist on pressing on (and why not, it is a learning experience) you will have to download 1.4.4-7+squeeze1 from http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/cups and then use dpkg -i.
