Hi konrad,

Here is my recipe to downgrade. Don't do that unless you know what you do.

- go to https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/libcups2, scroll down to « Download libcups2 », click on the link corresponding to your architecture, then choose a mirror server, and download the libcups2_2.3.3-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb file.
- do the same with https://packages.ubuntu.com/groovy/cups to get cups_2.3.3-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb
- open a terminal to get a shell, and go to directory where you stored the two .deb file
- type " sudo dpkg -i cups_2.3.3-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb libcups2_2.3.3-3ubuntu1_amd64.deb " to install these packages.
- then restart cups with " sudo systemctl restart cups.service "

Be aware that further package upgrade ( sudo apt upgrade ) will not work until you issue " sudo apt --fix-broken install " to get back the current cups and libcups2 packages.
