[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#669594: cups-client: lpstat outputs blank lines

[Lionel Vaux]

Package: cups-client
Version: 1.5.2-5
Severity: important

Hi,

On my installation, the output of lpstat only consists of blank lines
for most options. For instance, lpstat -d outputs a blank line, and
lpstat -a outputs several blank lines (as many as there are printers
detected on the system). Curiously lpstat -H does produce a correct
output.

I thought this might be TERM related but neither changing TERM or piping
the output solved the issue:
	# lpstat -a | wc 
	      9       0       9

I run a freshly installed wheezy.

Please let me know if I can provide additionnal information.

L.
