	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.
