Just to clarify why this bug has so many me-too votes: the bug happened
once to me, during an update, and never happened again (i.e. it fixed
itself, and I can print just fine, etc.). I subscribed to this thread
because I was curious as to what was going on, and I did see the problem
myself once but the bug doesn't have any ongoing effect on me and I
can't reproduce it.

I suspect that the majority of the people who have confirmed the bug are
in the same boat, whereas some people here have the issue recurring for
some reason. (It's unclear why; either there's something relevantly
different about their configuration, or this is actually two different
bugs with the same symptoms.) So although there are a lot of people
here, I suspect rather fewer people are in a position to test the fix; I
can't reproduce the bug, and thus there's no point in me testing the
fix, as a working fix would look the same as a fix that had no effect at
all.

Would it be reasonable for people in my position to retract our
confirmations of the bug, if we can no longer reproduce? Or is it best
to leave the confirmation there, because I definitely did see the bug
happen, once?
