2006-03-03 19:57:03 Martin Pitt cupsys: statusexplanation Rox, thanks a lot for the great debugging. The cure is quite easy: the cupsys user should be in the 'scanner' group, too: sudo adduser cupsys scanner I will add this to the cupsys package postinstallation script, so that it will happen automatically.

2007-08-08 15:41:52 Till Kamppeter cupsys: statusexplanation In Gutsy, perhaps already in Feisty this has falklen back to the original, broken state. I think the problem is that if we fix it at Ubuntu the fix survives only until the next sync with Debian. This needs really to be fixed at Debian and the Debian folks need to be made aware of this.
