RHBA-2009:1577 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated libgnomecups packages that resolve an issue are now available.

Description

The libgnomecups library integrates CUPS (the Common Unix Printing System)
with the GNOME desktop

These updated libgnomecups packages fix the following bug:

• previously, the .lpoptions file in the user's home directory contained

the default user-specific print queue options. For CUPS version 1.2, this
file changed locations to the ~/.cups/lpoptions file. These updated
packages make libgnomecups aware that the new location for user-specific
print queue options is the ~/.cups/lpoptions file. (BZ#509064)

All CUPS users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.
