Re: CUPS Printing problems

Hi! I was seeing that yesterday (cups 1.4.2-3, libpoppler 0.12.2-2) as well. Today Debian unstable is shipping cups 1.4.2-4 and my printing works again. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.o
