Only for venturous testers: I made a first test version of CUPS 1.6.1 (without any fix of the issues in comment#12 and others) as packages "cups161" and "cups" in "home:jsmeix" for openSUSE 11.4/12.1/12.2 and SLE-11 SP1/SP2
See https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?expand=1&file=cups.changes&package=cups161&project=home%3Ajsmeix Read https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Ajsmeix in particular note ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is my personal playground where packages could be severely incompatible with official openSUSE packages. ... If you are unexperienced with manual installation, do not install any package from "home:jsmeix". ... The packages in the "home:jsmeix" project are only for testing, without any guarantee or warranty, and without any support. As an extreme example, this means if your complete computer center crashes because of those packages, it is only your problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------- On my SLE-11 SP1 workstation I can print with it to print queues on SLE-11 servers that run CUPS 1.3.9 and I can print PostScript files on my locally connected (via USB) HP LaserJet 1220 PostScript printer and I can print to my LaserJet 1220 from an openSUSE 12.2 client that runs CUPS 1.5.3 and from a SLED11-SP2 client that runs CUPS 1.3.9. Printing other file types (e.g. PDF or plain text) does not yet work because currently there is no "cups-filters" package available, see "CUPS 1.6 has major incompatible changes" at http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:CUPS_in_a_Nutshell -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1061069 Title: CUPS 1.6 has major incompatible changes. Do not use CUPS 1.6.1 on stable Ubuntu releases Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “cups” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Status in “cups” source package in Raring: Confirmed Status in “cups” package in Suse: Confirmed Bug description: Drastic changes in CUPS 1.6.1 (non Apple feature removed mostly) are detrimental to Ubuntu users. We should wait until the missing features (like automatic appearing of remote CUPS queues) before to unleash the newer version to users. This means downgrading cups in Quantal.
