CUPS 1.2 was tested in experimental for a few months prior to moving to unstable, but most of the problems found by users in unstable were not found on the limited range of printer hardware and network/system setups available to us. CUPS 1.2.2-1 does seem to have brought some new problems, but I'm not sure how much a buggy gs-esp has to blame for that. It's currently working fine for me printing to a native PostScript printer, but filtering (pdftpps and pstoraster) does not appear to be working correctly. Hopefully, this can be rectified in the next few days. Regards, Roger -- .''`.
