Problem with AbiWord and CUPS
I have just spent a couple of days trying to figure out why cupsys would not run. When I first did a HD install of 5.0.1, I was able to configure my printer and use it. After a few days and a bunch of software installs, I was no longer able to print. In fact, after booting the system cupsd would not be running and I when I tried restarting it I would get a message like: cupsd: child failed with error 127. (That is a paraphrase.)
After spending considerable time, I found that doing a clean HD install followed by an install of AbiWord using synaptic would kill cupsd and leave me without printing. It must have brought in something that clashed with CUPS.
I think I shall stay away from AbiWord for a while. Too bad, I like the program.

Try This
I can sympathize. I don't use Abiword anymore either. I would get weird errors with it. Too bad. It seems like such a nice word processor.
I did have a similar experience as you with it wiping out my printing.
I fixed it by reinstalling cupsys.
