Most of the above issues in CUPS (comment#12 and subsequent comments) are fixed in CUPS 1.6.2.
For venturous testers: I made CUPS 1.6.2 as source package "cups162" in "home:jsmeix" that results binary RPMs named cups[...]-1.6.2-[...].rpm at http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/ for openSUSE 12.1/12.2/12.3 and SLE-11/SP1/SP2 Carefully read https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Ajsmeix and the RPM changelog https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?expand=1&file=cups.changes&package=cups162&project=home%3Ajsmeix Since CUPS 1.6. you usually need the "cups-filters" package (unless you only print PostScript files on PostScript printers) which I provide currently only in a very unfinished way only for venturous testers in the "Printing" project and also in "home:jsmeix" (it does not build for older openSUSE versions). FYI: A minor issue in CUPS 1.6.2: https://www.cups.org/str.php?L4300 "When restarting avahi-daemon while CUPS is running, CUPS looses connection" Workaround: After restarting Avahi also restart CUPS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1061069 Title: CUPS 1.6 has major incompatible changes.
