The version of cups provided in Lenny[1] uses a compatibility layer of Avahi (package libavahi-compat-libdnssd1). Therefore, Avahi is complaining/suggesting the developer [of cups], to use avahi libraries directly. FYI, this has been fixed in the version of cups in Testing (it now uses Avahi's native library: "libavahi-client3") > # dpkg --list cups > ii cups 1.3.8-1+lenny6 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server [..] > > so, I guess my question is, do I need to change anything? > > running lenny, up-2-date This message is intended to the developers (i.e it isn't intended to you [the system admin]).
