When I change /usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftops to not pass "-cfg /etc/cups/pdftops.conf" anymore, printing works again.

cupsys (1.2.12-3ubuntu2) gutsy; urgency=low

  * cupsys.logrotate: Fix last occurence of 'cupsys' user.
  * Moved all Debian specific filters to debian/local/filters.
  * Cleaned up debian/rules, moved some file installs to
    debian/cupsys.install.
  * Merge debian/cupsys.files into debian/cupsys.install and remove the
    former. Two different files are just too confusing.
  * debian/local/filters/pdftops: Do not pass /etc/cups/pdftops.conf to
    pdftops if it does not exist (poppler-utils does not have this file).
    (LP: #125300)
  * debian/local/apparmor-profile: Unbreak library access (for e. g.
    ghostscript and gutenprint) and allow execution of pdftops and pstops.
  * debian/local/apparmor-profile: Update profile to work with cups-pdf.
