Apologies if someone's already responded but this just popped into my inbox. dpkg-reconfigure should do what you want. - "dpkg-reconfigure cups", it'll replace the config file for you.

I tried reinstall the whole package (apt-get install cups --reinstall) but it doesn't reinstall a missing file. Any ideas what to do? Wawrzek PS.
