Package: cups Version: 1.4.1-4 Severity: normal
Several configured printers no longer worked with cups after an upgrade (to testing and ustable). It appears that the "DeviceURI socket" entry in /etc/cups.printers.conf of some printers (configured a while ago) have a terminal colon that is no longer parsed correctly, causing a "socket failed" error. Reconfiguring the printer (making sure to renew the connection description) or removing the colon by hand both reestablish printing.
