No. The obvious thing to do is to roll back to an old udev. You would
do
this by grabbing an old version rpm then replace the new (updated)
package with the old one.
Ok, I'll bite. People keep talking about downgrading a yum install. I
have never seen how to do this? The old yum rpm is no longer in the
database that I can find.
In any case it is not a udev problem. The updated cups does not support
parallel printers. Is that not a bug?

Yes it is a bug. It appears now in bug 251272 that the udev update was
the one that stopped udev from making parallel ports on /dev/. and that
is the root of the problem. I changed both udev and cups and it appears
now that changing only udev and a reboot would have made printing work
again.
If your using a USB printer none of this will hurt you and your printer
is still working.
