Sorry, I missed writing in the crucial bit that my printer was parallel,
and also goofed when I said it was still working. My test was printing
a page that I'd also printed the day before, but left on the printer
tray. I wasn't paying attention when I did my test, it didn't print
today. I looked at yesterday's print, and assumed the printer worked.
My system stopped working with a parallel printer when I updated udev
some time last night. My system started working when I reverted to an
older version of udev. I saw no point in trying a prior version of
CUPS, as the last time I updated that was ages ago, and I've definitely
done a lot of printing since then. Other updates that happened last
night had nothing to do with printing.
