If you're looking for confirmation, I lost all printers
I installed the gtk3-print-backends to no avail.

I spent a day trying to re-adding printers via CUPS and now they do not work. All printers pass with no pages.

I don't know what the details of the upgrade are but it seems to need more testing and/or a patch

I can confirm the bug report and the proposed workaround.
