Could this be a bug in the ipp backend? It does not appear to be present
before 1.5.2-7. Replacing the ipp backend in 1.5.3-2.15 with one from
any of the .debs after 1.5.2-7 gives the behaviour you describe.
The significant change in the Debian packaging of 1.5.2-8 compared with
1.5.2-7 is that the patches
ipp-backend-fails-to-trigger-authentication-prompts.patch,
ipp-backend-http-1.0-fallback-fix.patch,
ipp-backend-missing-document-type.patch
were removed and replaced with
ipp-fixes-1.5.3.patch ,
which updated the ipp backend to the state of the upcoming 1.5.3. I'd
assume all the code in this patch was upstream code. ipp-fixes-1.5.3 was
removed in cups (1.5.3-1) because the code would now be present in the
upstream source package.
An interim solution is to send the print job from client to server using
the ipp14 backend.
Regards,
Brian.
