Dear All,
I just found out there is a new version of cups. It is cups 1.1.8. I
downloaded the rpm and tried to install. It was conflicting with the 1.1.7
cups so I went about uninstalling that version with all of its dependancies.
The problem is it seems there are a never ending amount of dependancies in
order for me to delete the old and install the new. Is there a better way to
do this? Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Marcia Waller
