This bug was fixed in the package cups - 1.4.5-1ubuntu1 --------------- cups (1.4.5-1ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low
[ Till Kamppeter ] * debian/patches/cups-avahi.dpatch: Added patch from Tim Waugh from Red Hat to implement full Avahi support, not only for printer discovery by the "dnssd" backend but also for print queue broadcasting and browsing by the scheduler (CUPS daemon). Fixes LP: #465916. * debian/patches/dnssd-avahi.dpatch: Removed, is part of new cups-avahi.dpatch. * debian/patches/quiesce-bonjour-warning.dpatch: Removed, not needed any more with the new cups-avahi.dpatch. * debian/patches/usb-backend-no-segfault-on-bad-device-id.dpatch: Assure that the device ID string read from a USB device can never be a mess: Try other byte order for device ID string length also if length is too small, empty the read device ID string if there is an IOCTL failure, reject ID strings with unprintable characters, clean white space in the ID string, and finally accept the empty ID string as an unknown device. This overcomes the problem that USB-to-Parallel adapter cables do not report back a usable ID string. With these changes it is at least possible to use one adapter cable per computer if the cables do not report unique serial numbers via libusb and any number of adapter cables if they do report serial numbers via libusb. Real USB printers can always be used, also if there are other printers connected with an adapter cable (LP: #468701, LP: #564917). [ Martin Pitt ] * debian/local/apparmor-profile: Explicitly deny access to ttyUSB* to silence noise. This is presumably an extra control channel for some USB printers, but cupsd can't use it anyway.
