Package: tasksel Version: 2.24 Severity: normal This is my first time using tasks and I'm not very familiar with cups, so pardon me if I have the wrong idea about how this is supposed to work. I just installed a Debian unstable system (using a debian-installer snapshot and changing sources.list to use unstable) selecting only the desktop task. This resulted in the following cups packages being installed:
gnome-cups-manager libgnomecups1.0-1 libgnomecupsui1.0-1 libcupsys2-gnutls10 Since this doesn't include a cups server, the GNOME printer manager fails with "The CUPS server could not be contacted.". It seems to me that a desktop task should include working printer support.
