I don't know about the nature of the problem you were working on but in my experience there are some cases where the problem is far too complicated to be fixed with debug print statements. I couldn't live without my debugger.

For example, when debugging operating system code running before printf (or printk) is available. I barely used debuggers on high level code, but in low level its an all different story.
