Bug#370817: cupsys: Konica Minolta USB printer stopped working after 1.2.1 upgrade on unstable

[Eamonn Hamilton <eamonn.hamilton@saic.com>]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: important

Hi,

After upgrading my unstable distribution the other day, my Konica Minolta 2400W
which had been working fine with the 1.1 cups version and the m2300w driver 
stopped working.

This appears to be a known fault upstream ( # 1738 ), but it obviously
affects more printers tha just mine.

I had a look at reverting the cupsys upgrade, but it wanted to remove large
amounts of my gnome environment, so that will have to wait.

Hope this can be resolved soon !

Cheers,
Eamonn
