This is needed for the next kde stabilization. Arches, please test and mark stable: =net-print/cups-1.6.1 Target keywords : "alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 m68k ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc x86"
Not really ready yet in my opinion. Needs some work and testing, because of feature regressions. I'll write a blog post.
This would superseed bug #442444
I would really hate to see cups 1.6 stabilized yet, it breaks my printing system. In my case, specifically in printer collation (see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=458980 among others for regressions). For a summary of the changes, see also: http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/printing-architecture/2012/002412.html
Wontfix for now, since it does not need anymore for the kde stabilization
