Thank you very much for your swift response. With some hickups / workarounds the problem is solved at the end (could be due to lack of indepth knowledge on my side)
The output with original symlink ls -l /usr/lib/cups/backend total 116 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7200 2007-02-22 18:31 beh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12384 2007-02-19 13:41 bluetooth -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15640 2007-03-07 16:06 canon -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16248 2007-03-07 16:06 epson -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28772 2007-02-20 19:56 hp -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 7612 2007-02-20 19:56 hpfax -rws--x--- 2 root lp 17108 2007-03-07 16:01 lpd lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2007-03-10 18:41 smb -> /usr/bin/smbspool removed the link Did the sudo dpkg -P --force-depends cupsys Missed the knowledge hot to install the updates right. Got all kind of broken dependencies and could not install downloaded files. Fixed the broken dependencies in Synaptic (restored original cups) Updated the new downloaded files (according to your link) Installed the printer drivers again Changed the printer by gnome-cups-manager (adding lpd ip adres printer) Saved Checked the printer properties Nothing was changed (May be a seperate bug??) Copied backup files to /etc/cups/ (printconf's and ppd file) Now the printer was fine in gnome-cups-manager error lpd filed after print-command made the symlink again printer is working perfectly now.
