[Bug 1061069]

 

In SLES12 we have CUPS 1.7.5 and
in openSUSE Tumbleweed CUPS 2.x.

As of this writing there are no big issues
so that in general CUPS > 1.5.4 plus cups-filters
seems to "just work".

Bug description:
  Drastic changes in CUPS 1.6.1 (non Apple feature removed mostly) are
  detrimental to Ubuntu users. We should wait until the missing features
  (like automatic appearing of remote CUPS queues) before to unleash the
  newer version to users. This means downgrading cups in Quantal.

  See LP Bug 1061063 and Bug 1052897 for examples and the big list on
  Suse bugzilla : https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735404 for
