Normally you can upgrade to 1.2.x and keep the same configuration
files.  The only problems our customers have experienced concerned
their web interface customizations - the template files have changed,
and the old "hack" of using location-based access control for fine-
grained access control should be replaced by policies.

Of course, I would recommend installing on a separate system first
and testing it before moving the new CUPS to your production print
server...
