I don't think that this printer problem deserves a grave bug. However since the bug contained no info except a "it's not working" I assumed that it might be the same problem than me which was that /usr/bin/gs disappeared during the upgrade. And this is not too difficult to verify... and once that verification is done and that the upgrade scripts have been proofread with that problem in mind, one could close the bug. And this is something that anyone can do. The maintainer is best placed for this but you can step in to help...
