I think this message (thank you very much for quoting it exactly!) comes
from the lpd backend -- are you using 'lpd://'-style URIs on the client?
If so, please check that the 'cups-lpd' service is enabled:

# chkconfig --list cups-lpd
cups-lpd       	on

and that xinetd, the "super-server" used by cups-lpd, is enabled for
your runlevel, and running:

# chkconfig --list xinetd
xinetd         	0:off	1:off	2:off	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off
# service xinetd status
xinetd (pid  4971) is running...

I understand that things were working before the update so once we've
worked out what the problem currently is the next thing is to find out
what caused it.

This is harmless.
