When updating the MacOS, bugs are usually a part of the ordeal. After upgrading to 10.6.8, 9to5Mac readers have had printers connected via their networks drop, optical audio out stop working, and some Parallels bugs. Never fear, there are fixes for all of these problems:
Per some of the previous suggestions, the problem is with some broken files in /usr/libexec/cups/backend
Simply restore the following files in the backend folder from either the 10.6.6 or 10.6.7 versions:
socket, dnssd, lpd, ipp
Once you’ve done this, you have to re-set the Printing System, and also run ‘fix permissions’ using the Disk Utility.
