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.
