CUPS = Common Unix Printing Solution, the software that lets my computer talk to my printer. The latest version of the software is broken. :(

Are you saying the software was crappy to begin with and got not much better with time?

Not at all. CUPS is great, and very reliable if you run the latest "stable" release of it. However, I run the "unstable" version of Debian Linux, which means that everything, including the printing software, is constantly being updated (to the latest version) but isn't always reliable or bug-free. CUPS, this time, introduced a serious bug.

Nope, CUPS fucked up, that's all. All of a sudden, I can't print anything from any KDE app--CUPS won't talk to them...  >:( So I looked around in Debian's bug database and it turns out everyone using the latest CUPS is experiencing similar problems.

I'm really careful with dist-upgrade these days. I still do it way too often but I'm much more careful.  :angel:

Thats what I hate about unstable tree, but I can't stop myself dipping into it. I'm using PCLinuxOS again at the moment, so I'm spared that particular temptation.  :angel:


On a lighter note, don't use the coloured backing paper out of the rizla pack as an 'emergency paper'. Trust me on this one...

It's what makes it fun, and an obsession. I guess I should revert to a working CUPS but the lure of update && dist-upgrade is simply too great.  :laugh:
