No, the cupsys update (including the last one) is broken in that it tries to install some -dev packages that have unresolved dependencies so the whole install fails and leaves the existing CUPS in an indeterminate state. I resolved the problem, temporarily, by purging CUPSYS and installing the 1.2.8-0ubuntu6 packages manually. The -devs are still broken, but the mains will install fine locally from .debs and CUPS goes back to work. One loses any installed printers and configurations in the purge, unfortunately, but they now can be put back, and it's a small price to pay to be able to print at all. Oh, the joys of working with a pre-release operating system, eh?
