** Description changed: In a fresh install /usr/lib/cups/backend/serial has 755: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14664 May 18 10:05 serial For some reason with these permission it doesn't work at all. chmod 700 /usr/lib/cups/backend/serial fixes the problem. Where I got the idea to try that: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=516945 + + [IMPACT] + + Serial backend of CUPS and so all printers connected via serial port do + not work with Quantal. + + [TESTCASE] + + Try to print on a serial printer, does not work with stock Quantal and + works with the fixed package installed. + + If you do not have a serial printer for testing, check permissions of + /usr/lib/cups/backend/serial. It should be executable only for its owner + (root). This is fixed by the proposed package. + + [Regression Potential] + + Fix is trivial, no regressions possible.
