Printer disappeared

[David King]

I looked at CUPS and it showed no printers, then eventually it showed 
the laser printer. I used Synaptic to reinstall CUPS PDF and then that 
appeared, but I did have another pdf writer on the system which no 
longer shows up.

You may well be right in that an update to CUPS recently might have 
overwritten the configuration file, which is a nuisance.
