I just tracked down, what has changed on this box, by looking at the
modificatiob date of /etc/ files: a udev rules was misspelled:
BUS="usb", SYSFS{serial}="MY39UC2XXXXX", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="hp_5510"
instead of:
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{serial}=="MY39UC2XXXXX", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="hp_5510"
that is a = where == was needed. I have no idea when this went wrong.
( I guess the parsing of udev rules have *not* changed...)

I guess that way the device file for the printer was never found.

Now printing works as before.

Anything I could do to track down the real source of this problem?
