Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.7-4etch1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

The stable release of cupsys, 1.2.7-4etch1, specific ONLY to amd64
processors, will not allow printing from a commercial application
(COMSOL 3.4) that uses java 1.5.0-04.  I have developed a work around by
installing an older version 1.2.4-2 of the packages cupsys, cupsys-bsd,
cupsys-client, and cupsys-common which allows for the java printing to
work correctly.  Note that other printing applications work correctly
with the 1.2.7-4etch1 version. Also, note that the i386 version of
1.2.7-4etch1 allows for java printing correctly with this same
application.  It is ONLY the amd64 version that seems to have this
problem.

The system is an error message that says "no printing system found" when
attempting to print with COMSOL3.4 client (java printing).
