Well, this may be server dependent. I suspect a bug related to the authentication mechanism. When I do "lpq", authentication is not required, so that its output is OK. However some printers need authentication (the user's password). Perhaps lp and lpr ignore the default printer when it requires authentication, or something like that? The printer to which the files had been sent doesn't require a password. Note that the -P lpr option works as expected (and the password must be typed). > What are the access rights and contents of /etc/cups/lpoptions and > .cups/lpoptions ? ypig:~> cat /etc/cups/lpoptions cat: /etc/cups/lpoptions: No such file or directory ypig:~> cat .cups/lpoptions Dest lip-multi-3 ColorModel=Gray Resolution=1200dpi Default lipucb-mono-1 > > CUPS 1.5.x didn't have such a problem. > > > > This is a big security problem when one wants to print documents > > with confidential information... > > Granted, that's a bug, but it doesn't fit my reading of "serious" [0], > it's at most important, hereby downgrading. [...] > [0] http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer.en.html#severities I disagree. I see [0] as giving a non-exhaustive list of grave/critical problems. For instance, a bug that would make a mail server an open relay by default should also be seen as a grave/critical bug, even though such a problem isn't listed in [0]. It should include problems like private data disclosure. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
