[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#532881: cups: "Malformed URL" error after trying to set printer as default

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.10-2
Severity: normal


I had setup an HP Officejet Pro 809a (Ethernet) under hplip-setup, and
then looked up the printer and tried to set it as the default printer, which
resulted in the following error:

An error occurred while loading http://localhost:631/admin/?OP=redirect&URL=/printers/Officejet_Pro_8000_A809:
Malformed URL http://::1:631/printers/Officejet_Pro_8000_A809.

After I manually returned to http://localhost:631 I found that the printer
had in fact been set as default.

Regards,

Arthur.
