version 1.0.23 is in ubuntu 12.10 But the network scanner auto detection in kodakaio (which uses cups) does not work. It seems likely that when the backends were compiled cups.h was not detected, so the autodetection was excluded from kodakaio.
Does anyone have ideas about this? What's the best way to approach ubuntu to discuss it? Should I be checking for the presence of cups at run time, rather than at compile time? - there are many other checks for the presence of libraries in configure, is that a general problem when distros build executables: where the libraries used depend on the set up of the "machine" that does the compiling, and not on the set up of the user's machine.
