I don't think Ubuntu has ever worked out of the box as a network server
as, for security, it only listens to the localhost by default. Perhaps,
during the upgrade, you let it overwrite the config file?
Try editing /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and look for lines beginning Listen and
<Location /> and change them as necessary to suit your network.
