Package: cups-driver-gutenprint Version: 5.2.4-1 Severity: important After a system upgrade, my CUPS installation was failing to print to my Canon i560 inkjet, complaining that it could not find /usr/lib/cups/backend/canon. I noticed that the canon and epson backend files have disappeared in Squeeze. Copying the offending file manually from the Lenny deb into my /usr/lib/cups/backend directory and deleting/adding the printer solved the problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (650, 'testing'), (100, 'experimental'), (50, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.5 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cups-driver-gutenprint depends on: ii cups 1.4.1-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii cups-client 1.4.1-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii ghostscript-cups 8.70~dfsg-2+b1 The GPL Ghostscript PostScript/PDF ii libc6 2.10.1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcups2 1.4.1-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libcupsimage2 1.4.1-4 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libgcrypt11 1.4.4-5 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libgnutls26 2.8.5-2 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgpg-error0 1.6-1 library for common error values an ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.7dfsg~beta3-1 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libgutenprint2 5.2.4-1 runtime for the Gutenprint printer ii libjpeg62 6b-15 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpng12-0 1.2.40-1 PNG library - runtime ii libtasn1-3 2.3-1 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) ii libtiff4 3.9.2-1 Tag Image File Format (TIFF) libra ii perl 5.10.1-8 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-15 compression library - runtime cups-driver-gutenprint recommends no packages.

Both the epson and canon backends are obsolete: their functionality is now provided by the standard cups "parallel", "usb" and "socket" backends (the epson and canon backends did all three). Unfortunately, it wasn't possible to safely upgrade the existing canon or epson backend-using queues to use the correct parallel or usb backend due to them using a different URI syntax (usb uses libusb device names using the IEEE 1284 device IDs rather than /dev device node names). I would recommend modifying your print queue to use the standard cups backend appropriate for your printer, and delete the backends you copied from the Lenny .deb--they are not the best solution to your problem! Please see the upstream README, which fully documents this issue. (/usr/share/doc/cups-driver-gutenprint/README.gz). Regards, Roger -- .''`.
