I have uploaded new packages again, but this time with -0ubuntu2 release
number.
These add the new AppArmor support which Martin Pitt introduced as
replacement for the now dropped non-root mode with the new
cupsys-1.2.12-1ubuntu2. Please test these packages to see whether it
also works well with the new authentication and network features of CUPS
1.3.x.
See especially the output of
grep audit.*cupsd /var/log/kern.log
but also
/var/log/cups/error_log
The AppArmor profile is
/etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.cupsd
To make AppArmore enforcing it use
sudo aa-enforce cupsd
Please report your experience here.
