Now that I remember, cups-pdf was removed in the upgrade.  Just to make sure I 
remembered this correctly, I did a search, and found this:
http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3114263.0

"The cups-pdf package is removed as obsolete in the upgrade to Maverick,
breaking the PDF printer by removing the backend but not the printer
installation, which has to be removed manually."

This would explain why a purge & reinstall would work.  Does anyone know
why it would be considered obsolete?  I think that's the real error
here, unless there's some new alternative that we don't know about.
