Comment 40 for bug 1061069

Most of the above issues in CUPS (comment#12 and subsequent comments)
are fixed in CUPS 1.6.2.

For venturous testers:
I made CUPS 1.6.2 as source package "cups162" in "home:jsmeix"
that results binary RPMs named cups[...]-1.6.2-[...].rpm at
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jsmeix/
for openSUSE 12.1/12.2/12.3 and SLE-11/SP1/SP2
Carefully read
https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Ajsmeix
and the RPM changelog
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file?expand=1&file=cups.changes&package=cups162&project=home%3Ajsmeix

Since CUPS 1.6. you usually need the "cups-filters" package
(unless you only print PostScript files on PostScript printers)
which I provide currently only in a very unfinished way
only for venturous testers in the "Printing" project and also
in "home:jsmeix" (it does not build for older openSUSE versions).

FYI:
A minor issue in CUPS 1.6.2:
https://www.cups.org/str.php?L4300
"When restarting avahi-daemon while CUPS is running, CUPS looses connection"
Workaround: After restarting Avahi also restart CUPS.
