In my case, it meant finding out that you have to rebuild INDEX, downgrading the cups-base and cups-client port to 1.4.8 and then rebuidling the chain. Boiled down to 5m of actual work and some more waiting for the compile ... I have now cups 1.4.8 and am functional with a Kyocera 1030D connected via usb.

CUPS 1.5.2 not working, like to test 1.4.x, how?
I am trying to get CUPS 1.5.2 from ports working with my printer and I encounter a problem exactly like a bug described in http://www.cups.org/str.php?L4008, albeit with a Kyocera 1030-D instead of a kyocera 2000. In essence, CUPS 1.5.+ is sending corrupted data to some printers and the remedies suggested by the CUPS-people do not work ... not in his case and neither in mine. As I cannot get CUPS 1.5.2 to work, I would like to test my assumption of a buggy 1.5.+ with an older version, preferably 1.4.8 which I have in a working state with that printer on a Solaris machine. Is there any documentation available on how to retrieve old ports from the cvs-attic? I just don't know how, so that I could test my assumption that CUPS 1.4.x should be working for my setup.
