Printer doesn't work after update

Hello,
I have Lexmark X1190. It's a printer+scanner device. I managed to run it on arch 32bit with lexmark z600 drivers, found on net.

I haven't used my printer for about 2 weeks. Two days ago, I wanted to try to print something, but unfortunatly it didn't work
I did regular, daily updates, so recently my CUPS has upgraded, and as far as I can remember, Kernel also did.
I've tried reinstalling CUPS, but it did not work. I think, that there is something wrong with Kernel, because I think usually in dmesg, I saw the name of my printer. Below there is output of dmesg after reconnecting my printer:

usb 6-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 8
usb 6-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
hub 6-2:1.0: USB hub found
hub 6-2:1.0: 2 ports detected
usb 6-2.1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 9
usb 6-2.1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 6-2.2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 10
usb 6-2.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usblp1: USB Bidirectional printer dev 10 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x043D pid 0x007B

In addition, the scanner works, so it is not a connection problem.

I would appreciate any help.

Re: Printer doesn't work after update

Did you see the following news on the homepage ? (http://www.archlinux.org/news/469/)

CUPS 1.4 moves to extra

New cups 1.4.x introduces many new features.
Due to config syntax changes, please start with a new cupsd.conf file.
You can create one based on /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.default.

USB-Printers:
In order to get usb printers working,
you need to disable usblp module in your rc.conf file.
Please blacklist usblp module in your /etc/rc.conf file, eg:
MODULES=(!usblp)
