found 970725 2.3.3op1-106-ga72b0140e-1 thanks It is not too surprising to still find the described behaviour in the experimental version of cups-client as it contains the patch "Make lpoptions list a printer's options correctly also when CUPS is running on an alternative port".
Is it possible to reinstate what CUPS Issue #5045 was intended to fix and provide? Sometimes, I am inclined to submit reports that are not in fact bugs; I usually discover this myself. I would appreciate knowing whether this bug too should be closed. Cheers, Brian.
