Public bug reported:
Steps to reproduce the problem :
On the cups server, add a printer with lpadmin (ppd has to be generated
first with foomatic) :
foomatic-ppdfile cat "foomatic-ppdfile:Samsung-ML-1750-gdi.ppd" >
/tmp/random.ppd
lpadmin -p anyprinter -v socket://1.2.3.4 -P /tmp/random.ppd -o printer-
error-policy="retry-job" -L anywhere -D "any comment"
result is correct :
file /etc/cups/printers.conf
/etc/cups/printers.conf: ASCII text
lpadmin -p anyprinter -v socket://1.2.3.4 -P /tmp/random.ppd -o printer-
error-policy="retry-job" -L anywhere -D "any comment with #"
the printer.conf file is now corrupted
file /etc/cups/printers.conf
/etc/cups/printers.conf: data
Cups should not corrupt the file in case '#' is used in the description,
or it should validate the description and refuse to add the printer.
