Package: cups Severity: important Version: 1.3.8-1lenny2 Hi,
I've been having some problems creating a printer using the web interface in the above CUPS version. After some hunting, I've managed to find a very nicely notated RHEL bug that describes the problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453610 Basically, when you attempt to submit a largish request over SSL using some browsers (I've tested with FF3 and Epiphany 2.22.3, and both exhibit the symptoms) the connection will hang, because CUPS has a bug in it's event loop that gets in the way of the SSL connection. "Largish requests" include the POSTs to create a new printer, amongst other things (if you submit print jobs over SSL, this bug could bite, depending on the client's SSL library). The above bug points to a fix: http://cups.org/str.php?L2892 I've verified that the last patch in that ticket (str2892-1.3.patch) applies cleanly and fixes the problem on my local amd64 system. Please consider including this patch in lenny; it is practically impossible to create a printer as it stands at the moment.
