[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#489892: cups: browsing does not work

[Roberto Lumbreras]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.7-7
Severity: important


Browsing does not work at all, and warning messages about avahi are
shown in syslog:

*** WARNING *** The program 'cupsd' uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi.
*** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi!
*** WARNING *** For more information see <http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=cupsd>

Browsing does not work and breaks the printing in all my network, so
this is an important issue.

Regards,
Roberto Lumbreras
