You can downgrade to the earlier version, since it is still in the
repos, or so I believe. All you need to do is specify the version
number. Determine what version the previous, working one was, and
append it to the package name on the apt-get command line.

You can also just grab the version you want from

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/c/cups/

and install it with dpkg, gdebi or similar. That should work as long as
you don't try to install anything that depends on versions of libraries
or other packages that are not available for 14.04.
