How APT signs packages

2012-10-19 Thread Lars Nooden

CUPS is not broadcasting printers

2012-10-19 Thread Karl
Hi, my new CUPS Server (1.4.4-7+sq) is not broadcasting any printer queues to the LAN. The required avahi (dnssd) daemon is up and running. Avahi also distributes printers that I have manually creates in the /etc/avahi/services directory, but not the printers that have been configured in CUPS.
