printing with parallelport printers broken in etch



Hi,

this bug (462149) prevents printing (via cups) to printers attached to the 
parallelport in etch.

I wonder if this is the correct fix (it seems 
so, /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf has the same perms) and wonder if the SRMs 
would like to see this fix in etch?

If yes, I could prepare a fixed package. If not, I'd probably prepare a fixed 
package for Debian Edu anyway... :-)


regards,

P.S.: The correct severity is probably important..
