Not being funny, but where did you get that idea from?
I have upgraded a client's main server, everything worked well until the Internet got an outage. Printers stoped working without explanation. I have not tested 7, but 6 is off table because of that incident.
That's very odd. We have well over 170 servers and workstations, the vast majority on CentOS 6, as is my own workstation at home, and both here at work, and at home, we/I have occasionally had connection to the outside world issue (admittedly, not for very long), and no printer problems at all.

The printing problem sounds like a configuration issue. Without knowing more, it seems likely DNS (or more generally, hostname lookup) related.
