[Touch-packages] [Bug 557818] Re: cups-client does not create /etc/cups directory, let alone client.conf
Hi Daniel. Thanks for the update and the cups info. I'll look at next steps. Take care :) G -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/557818 Title: cups-client does not create /etc/cups directory, let alone client.conf Status in cups package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Binary package hint: cups-client This concerns cups-client 1.4.2-10 in Lucid beta1.

Hello Daniel, Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with cups and printing. You made this bug report some time ago and Ubuntu has been updated since then. Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket? If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug? If you are, could you let us know, and in the current version, run the following (only once): apport-collect BUGNUMBER and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu better.
