This appears to be a duplicate of bug 495726. No one seems to be paying attention to it.
In the interim, open a terminal and type 'sudo /etc/init.d/cups start' (without the quotes). Go back to System/Printing and you'll be able to restore/add printers.
It only works on one session at a time, so you'll need to do this every time you restart or logout. At least it remembers your printers.
