[cups] migrating printers

[Helge Blischke]

I guess your new (1.4.2) system differs from the old one (1.3.7) in  
that the new one
uses the cups-filters package from openprinting, the main feature of  
which is that
it defines PDF as the default data type for printing documents.
This change implies a heavy modification of the mime database (the  
files xxx.types and
xxx.convs).
Could you please post the mime related files from both versions?
