CUPS is working fine for me, and I haven't seen any bug reports
similar to your description (that's a hint to file one yourself, by
the way :-) ).

You say that "the backend" is dead: which backend do you think is the
trouble-maker?  It's easy to disable a backend, just by removing the
executable bit, so it's not difficult to test.
