Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-13
Severity: important
I'm filing my mailing list message as a bug, since it didn't receive a
response when sent to the mailing list directly.
In summary, the splitting out of the Port and Listen settings has broken
Kprinter. Details below.
Thanks,
Christopher Martin
