Binary package hint: cups

CUPS versions before 1.3.10 failed to include a printer-uri attribute in IPP_GET_JOBS requests issued by lpstat.

Against servers running CUPS 1.4, this causes an error when you try to use lpstat to retrieve jobs:

  dr-wily:~ broder$ lpstat -h get-print.mit.edu -o ajax
  lpstat: No printer-uri in request!

This can be fixed by backporting a patch from upstream (parts of r8146 in http://svn.easysw.com/public/cups/branches/branch-1.3) - apparently the printer-uri value can be bogus, so long as it's there.
