Bug Description

After upgrading to Kubuntu Edgy Eft, the printers stopped working.
Trying to reinstall printers didn't work, the cups backend modules for most type of printers were missing.

The problem was that the modules are installed in /usr/lib/cups/backend-available, and cups searches for the modules in /usr/lib/cups/backend.
Creating links for the modules solved the problem.

On a different computer the backends were in both directories.
I figured out that inputting "sudo dpkg-reconfigure cupsys" gives a selection of the backends.
I had reinstalled cupsys I believe, and the configuration probably did not appear, since it was already configured. I must have skipped over the configuration at some time.
