I'd been tearing hair out over this and the general inability of the Apple cups to cope with my admittedly elderly Brother DCP 7020. I ran across a comment in one of the linux forums saying that the Brother/Cups (and some other printers) combination was fouled up because of mishandling of the bidir usb. So I pulled it all out and replaced it with a local build of cups-1.2.12 and now it all works again, including ctrl-P.
Now if only samba would still work... but I my have to go retro there, too.
