There have been some "improvements" made to the cups system.

Can you print from the command line? Try: lpr -Pprinter /etc/printcap where you replace "printer" with one of the printers mentioned in your /etc/printcap file. This does sound like a problem with your printing set-up though! The libgnomeprintlpd module simply pipes the postscript into lpr. And vlearly lpr is being found.
