Just a followup regarding my question.  I eventually discovered that, after 
the upgrade, the permissions had for some reason changed on /dev/lp0.  This 
may have been a side effect of me upgrading my kernel at one point, but I 
don't know if that is when my printing stopped.  It seemed to immediately 
follow my upgrade of cups.  I created a udev rule that would set the owner to 
"daemon" which I discovered print jobs were running as.  I hope this helps 
someone searching through the archives in the future.  I made the rule in 
/etc/udev/rules.d/ 30-printer.rules and this is the text: 
BUS="usb", SYSFS_serial="LO5010603280706250", MODE="0660", GROUP="sys", 
OWNER="daemon"

The serial bit should be the serial number of you own printer of course.  I 
picked that group owner because that is the group that cups runs under on 
some other systems I have worked on.  I don't know if it was actually 
necessary.
