Actions taken
1) purge cups-pdf and reinstall
2) Delete all cups-pdf printers from localhost:631 (I had three: not really
sure why)
3) Reinstall cups-pdf (one version only)
Problem solved and all my printers now working
Still not really sure why PDF suddenly stopped. (Completing a long pdf fill
document is much easier with pdftk: just update the new sheets and insert /
remove. Makes it a lot easier than re-entering the whole document. I still
have to use evince to enter the data but better than nothing)
