[Bug 1038667] Re: cups network printing doesn't work ubuntu 12.04 server

 

There seems to be a persistent bug affecting legacy CUPS servers.  The
primary cups binary has apparently not been fixed, but cups14 remains,
presumably as a workaround.  In my case, I moved aside
/usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp and then

# ln -sf /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp14 /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp
# /etc/init.d/cups restart

And workstation was now able to obtain status and job printed.

root@emile-IdeaCentre-Q190:/etc# cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu Utopic Unicorn (development branch) \n \l

root@emile-IdeaCentre-Q190:/etc# uname -r
3.15.0-6-generic

IIRC my users have had this problem since an update in Karmic or Lucid,
and it's disheartening to see it continue to the present.

Assuming its the same bug.
