[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#631025: cups: printer always deactivated after CUPS upgrade

[Paul Menzel]

Package: cups
Version: 1.4.6-9
Severity: normal

Dear Debian folks,


I believe after every CUPS upgrade my printer is deactivated and I have
to activate it again (using the GNOME printer dialog, the checkbox
before »Activated« (German »Aktivieren«) is not set). I am not a 100 %
sure because I do not always print something after every upgrade but it
happens since over a year and I expect the upgrades are at fault.

Is that a known problem? Please tell me what other information you need
for solving this issue.


Thanks,

Paul
