Bug#384654: METOO: Confirming reported bug

[Matthew Exley]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.2-2
Followup-For: Bug #384654


I am seeing this bug also; however I'd already purged 1.2.2-1 from my
cache and cannot therefore downgrade to verify the version trouble.

I've tried all of the actions as listed, my current unsatisfactory
work-around is to manually move jobs from the class to a printer
instance as they're submitted. Very, Very nasty.

There are still sites that have 1.2.2-1 (google for the filename) -
that's how I downgraded, as it's been removed from the pool :(

This is what I ended up doing, because I was concerned what would happen
on downgrade. Fortunately enough, immediately after the downgrade the
printer started up and printed the test print I had forgotten about
that was applied to the class.

It was indeed rather laborious to move the jobs via the web interface ..
I didn't investigate whether it could be done from the command-line.

Thanks for the tip. I'd tried googling for cupsys and 1.2.2-1
separately with no joy; using cupsys_1.2.2-1_i386.deb did the trick.

Having now downgraded to 1.2.2-1, I too can confirm that this has fixed
the problem. Well, I say fixed: I guess we've both isolated it to 1.2.2-2.

I have no idea whether the patch referred to by this URL is germane to
the issue, but it does address the same code area over the same time period:
