the upgrade went very well as has always been my experience with Debian :-)
so things are still strange.
upon re-boot the ipp connection set-up did work BUT ONLY FOR ICEWEASEL.
evince can see the printer but can't print because:
Returning IPP client-error-bad-request for Print-Job (ipp://192.168.1.1:631/printers/Brother_DCP-8110DN) from 192.168.1.40
libreoffice writer can't see the printer at all.
So i went back in to cups administration and found my good friend :
dnssd://Brother%20DCP-8110DN._ipp._tcp.local/
which is the working connection i had before. it decided to show up when it wouldn' before, possibly related to libavahi ?
so here's where it gets weird. i selected the dnssd printer connection. i restarted cups and cups-browsed (do i need cups-browsed ?) and then tried evince again, but i still get the same message:
Returning IPP client-error-bad-request for Print-Job (ipp://192.168.1.1:631/printers/Brother_DCP-8110DN) from 192.168.1.40
why am i getting ipp in the error log when i've switched to the dnssd connection ???
it looks like evince is still getting the old printer advertisement, or something...
of course- how these apps are actually retrieving the printer interface is a great mystery. i'm assuming they are built with some sort of cups access library ?
