[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#386785: cupsys: cupsd silently dies when accessing webinterface

[Marco Herrn]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.2-2
Severity: important

I just installed cupsys and made some configuration through the web
interface. That worked until I specified the PPD file for my printer (HP
Laserjet 3052). From that moment on cupsd keeps dying without any error
message every time I access the web interface. Not even purging the package
and reinstalling changed that. 

Configuring cups through lpadmin does work, however. Printing does work,
too.

I also had this effect on another computer with etch and a different
printer (HP Laserjet 4050) some month ago. But if I remember correctly
there not even printing worked. Each access to cups lead to the breakage.
I do not have access to this one anymore, so I can't test it. 

In both cases the printer is accessed via ethernet.
