It is possible that
* debian/patches/ipp-backend-abort-the-outer-loop-if-we-get-a-failure-from-send-document.patch,
debian/patches/ipp-backend-could-get-stuck-in-an-endless-loop-on-certain-network-errors.patch:
Prevent IPP backend from falling into an infinite loop in certain
situations (CUPS STR #4194).
in unstable's cups is a fix. Testing on an unstable install would be a
way of finding out. However, it may be sufficient to use the ipp backend
from 1.6.2-10. (If this is not a valid procedure, I hope someone will
say so).
