Hi Paolo, and thanks for your bugreport,

That's really weird because 5.2.10-3 contains code to trigger the CUPS 
mechanism to refresh the PPDs on upgrade (the generic cups code 
equivalent to the gutenprint-specific cups-genppdupdate).

I suspect you might have had a specific configuration that made this 
update fail. How was your printer configured initially?

Could you please send the relevant parts of /var/log/dpkg.log and 
/var/log/apt/history.log to this bugreport?

Thanks in advance, cheers,
OdyX
