Martin, After setting up oneiric-proposed as per your link and running:
$ sudo aptitude install cups/oneiric-proposed aptitude wanted to update/remove over 500 packages that were not in the proposed repository. Obviously I said NO to this. If it only wanted to update 6 or 7 packages I'd have done it, but 500 make me a bit queasy. Sorry, but this a non-starter for me, if there is a way to get around this issue and install the cups packages please let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/883585 Title: Kubuntu 11.10 -- Network/Local Printers found but cannot print - Unable to get printer status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/883585/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
