<para>CUPS, installed by <literal>services.printing</literal> module, now
has its data directory in <filename>/var/lib/cups</filename>. Old
configurations from <filename>/etc/cups</filename> are moved there
automatically, but there might be problems. Also configuration options
<literal>services.printing.cupsdConf</literal> and
<literal>services.printing.cupsdFilesConf</literal> were removed
because they had been allowing one to override configuration variables
required for CUPS to work at all on NixOS. For most use cases,
<literal>services.printing.extraConf</literal> and new option
<literal>services.printing.extraFilesConf</literal> should be enough;
if you encounter a situation when they are not, please file a bug.</para>
<para>There are also Gutenprint improvements; in particular, a new option
<literal>services.printing.gutenprint</literal> is added to enable automatic
updating of Gutenprint PPMs; it's greatly recommended to enable it instead
of adding <literal>gutenprint</literal> to the <literal>drivers</literal> list.
