This bug was fixed in the package cups - 1.5.0-14
---------------
cups (1.5.0-14) unstable; urgency=low
[ Till Kamppeter ]
* debian/patches/usb-backend-libusb-1.0.patch: Migrated the "usb" CUPS
backend to libusb 1.0.x, as libusb 0.1.x is deprecated and not maintained
upstream any more. Also make printers working independent of what gets
reported as their device ID, including random characters or nothing. This
should especially make all USB->Parallel adapters work (LP: #910272).
* debian/control: Build-depend on libusb-1.0-0-dev instead of on libusb-dev.
[ Martin Pitt ]
* debian/local/filters/pdf-filters/pdftoopvp/OPVPOutputDev.{h,cxx}: Drop
definition of drawLink(). It is not being used anywhere and uses the
"Link" class which is gone in poppler 0.18.
* Add debian/patches/ubuntu/poppler-0.18.patch: Port SplashFontEngine()
constructor call to poppler 0.18 API. Keep it as Ubuntu patch until Debian
gets poppler 0.18, too. (Closes: #645507)
