[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#414867: failure to print multiple docs to remote printer

[martin f krafft]

Package: cupsys-client
Version: 1.2.7-4
Severity: important

I have a CUPS server on my network, and I can print fine on it,
using /usr/bin/lp. I can print single or multiple documents alright.

I can also print with /usr/bin/lp from any network client, but only
for single documents. If I specify more than one document on the lp
command line, nothing happens.

If I print a single document, I get these entries in access_log

Printing multiple documents only results in:

remote:
  [nothing]

Using tcpdump, I find that there are zero packets received by the
remote print server when the client prints multiple documents.
