Issue

  • Is CUPS v 1.x supported in my version of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system ?
  • What CUPS packages are available for use and support with Red Hat Enterprise Linux ?
  • Is there a way to get a more up-to-date version of CUPS available to be installed via the satellite and yum ?
  • When will the next supported update to CUPS be available?
  • Currently, the Red Hat site is listing cups-1.4.2-50 as the latest supported version of CUPS. The cups.org website has a current release of cups-1.7.1, When is Red Hat scheduling to support this release?
  • Our current version of CUPS is 1.4.2 on RHEL. The latest CUPS release is actually 2.2. Our question is, does RHEL support the latest CUPS release?
