[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#374946: cupsys: 1.2.1-3 does not work: Perhaps it's the config file?

[Slaven]

Kenshi,

It seems that this bug is caused by some default in the cupsd.conf file. I 
didn't change the original conf file, and installation of newer cups would 
overwrite the old cupsd.conf and install the new one at every upgrade. 

This time I made sure the old conf file stays in place after the upgrade, and 
now everything works fine after upgrade to cupsys 1.2.2-1. I attach my conf 
file (the old one, which came with version 1.2.1-2, the one that works fine 
for me) below in hope you can figure out what was going on. I'll play with 
this a little bit more myself...

Cheers,
Slaven
