Package: cups-browsed Version: 1.0.61-5 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch upstream Hi, Attached patch brings back support for browsing remote printer queues via LDAP, as it used to be available with cups < 1.6. The code is really that of 1.5 with a few minor tweaks to adapt it to cups-browsed. Adding the patch and a b-d on libldap2-dev is enough for it to work. The alternative browsing methods did not allow us to have remote printers independent from the network configuration. The support added by the patch also allows a more specific LDAP filter to be used, so that the results can be tailored down to by machine-specific criteria. I do not believe that the additional lines that were not taken from cups are subject to copyright. Please consider this mail to have been sent from raphael-externe.geissert at edf dot fr, and with that hat on. Cheers, -- Raphael Geissert
