Hi,
tried, but no success. Tried to install it on tjener without success.
Looking into /var/log/cups/error_log there are more issues related
to the move CUPS 1.5 -> 1.7. For instance The BrowseAddress directive
doesn't exist any more. Also the Listen directive has probably changed
its behaviour and the "Listen www:631" raises error "Cannot assign requested
address".
A careful review of the cupsd.conf from somebody who is "cups-skilled"
is needed.
Regards
Giorgio
