Bug#712912: cups-client: Printer loosing its configuration setup (serious issue)
Package: cups-client
Version: 1.4.4-7+squeeze1
Severity: important
Hi
On all the debian stable boxes, it is that printing works time to time,
and all of a sudden the debian box cannot print any longer
the admin must arrive and do some:
system-config-printer
remove the printer
and re-install it (i.e. find 192.168.1.8) and let drivers work by themself.
Please it is really annoying, takes time, and a serious bug.
After 1-2 weeks, I have to reinstall all the time the printer. Then it works for 1-2 days.
(note: the boxes are cleanly installed)
Kind regards
lpq
