I just upgraded to cups-1.4.6-r2 and my Zebra 2844 thermal label
printer wouldn't work until I modified the printer in the CUPS admin
interface and chose from the latest set of drivers offered for that
printer.  Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else finds their
printer no longer works after the upgrade.

I've been bitten by the same problem with a couple of printers, and
I finally learned to delete all of the existing cups printers and
let cups re-install them after an upgrade.  The printing problems
can be quite subtle sometimes and the cause is not obvious.
