For the longest, every time I had a cups update, I=20 had to delete my printers then add them back again. It would not print=20 until I did so. That wasn't long ago either. I haven't had to do that=20 the last few upgrades but for over a year, that was required. It used=20 to get on my nerves. Restarting the service I can understand. It needs=20 to reload its new config and all but not deleting and adding them again. Maybe you and I should add, YMMV. ;-) Dale :-) :-)
