Cause:
I think this was caused by me running sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install CPAN::Bundle' and it upgrading just about everything. Then when the foomatic-rip filter runs (which I think uses a lot of Perl stuff) AppArmour denies it access to all the new modules which aren't part of the standard install.

Work-a-round:

sudo aa-complain cupsd
