[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#438516: error log should be accessible through web interface

[Frederik Eaton]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.11-2
Severity: minor

Often I experience problems with cups which are due to filter errors,
etc. which only appear in the error log. It would be nice if these
were available through the UI, and a good first step would be making
the error log available through the UI. Perhaps the second step would
be linking the part of the error log which is specific to each job, to
that particular job. Thanks.
