The cups-pdf printer is paused with "Backend failed" but all other 
printers are OK. HPLIP is not installed.

The info from the link you sent looks related although the configs are 
not the same, but it is an interesting lead that I will pursue further. 
There is a severe lack of debug info though, the error_log is not 
helpful at all.

Also, that thread is dated April 6 which is about the same time that the 
problem showed up here too.

Thanks,
