Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.11-3
Followup-For: Bug #218910


Martin-Éric,

Thanks for getting in touch. I can confirm that the bug does still
apply with this version of CUPS, but it might not be the fault of CUPS -
it could be the fault of the version of the JetDirect card I have in my
printer. Unfortunately, I have no way at present to try sending data
using anyhting other than cups to the LDP running on the card.

If I was looking at the situation now, I probably wouldn't have
reported the bug, as there's no clear evidence that CUPS is to blame
here. Coupled with that fact that running it's easy to work around the
problem by sending data to a raw port, I'd be quite happy if this bug
were closed.

If you'd like any further information from me on anything, let me know
and I'll update the bug report as soon as possible.

All the best,
-Dave
