I agree with you Stefan, but don't see any reason for you to have regrets! When this bug was "hot", it was because a new kernel had just been released for Hardy LTS. It broke a lot of stable printing systems and so we knew we would have to live with the bug for the next 18 months. Our bypass seemed to be acceptable to everyone who was affected by the bug, but several of us spent a lot of time trying to backport the kernel fix before giving up because it was too complex.
Lucid is the new LTS, so Hardy's days are numbered and (as I said before) there is a bypass. Anyone who experiences the original symptoms:- slow or never-completing printing with an ancient tcp stack in the printer... needs to treat it as a new bug and do proper problem determination. That means wireshark traces to identify the broken protocol sequence. Once the low-level symptoms are identified unambiguously, we can reproduce it and try to get it fixed. -- CUPS does not print to LPD printer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
