Thomas,
Hi,
Just a warning that I had a bad experience with the CUPS update, and maybe this will happen to others too.
Previously the CUPS server software was slow and flakey but just about worked. After the upgrade I couldn't get it to work at all and there were lots of messages like E [25/Feb/2002:14:37:23 +0000] ReadClient() 3 IPP Read Error! in the CUPS error log.
Hm, very bad thing. You are the second person, that reports this. I'll dig a bit deeper into this within this week...
We are running SuSE 7.2 and were running cups-1.1.6-68 before the upgrade. For now I have reverted to cups-1.1.6-52 (from the 7.2 CD), but I intend to get hold of the latest CUPS in the hope that it is a better product...the current version takes 15 mins to start and uses 700 MB of virtual memory!
Jesus! :-(
Thank you very much for your report.
Bye,
Thomas
