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.
