I just upgraded CUPS on two 7.10 systems yesterday, then tried to network the Lexmark Optra E310 and an Epson Stylus Photo 800, one on each system.
The Epson box's system Gives the "problem connecting to the CUPS server" error message when I open the System->Administration->Printing window.

The other box appears to have several faults, which may or may not be related:

The Lexmark box merely evaporates any output directed at it from evince. However, I CAN print
a test OK from the System->Administration->Printing window. Also, printing via lpr works OK.

I tried converting the PDF file I wanted to print into PostScript using evince "output to file", but
that results in a PostScript file that kills the printer with blinky yellow error lights.

ANY suggestions are welcome...
