gutenprint (5.2.1-2) experimental; urgency=low
The CUPS "canon" and "epson" backends are obsolete in Gutenprint 5.2,
and have been removed by the upstream developers. Users of these
backends need to migrate their print queues to use the standard
backends such as "usb", "parallel" and "socket", which now contain the
functionality of the old backends. The package postinst script will
attempt to automatically upgrade your print queues to use the
appropriate backend, but the queues should be checked to make sure
that the correct backend has been selected.
In particular, USB printers will require the print queue to be
modified to use the correct IEEE-1284 device ID. The device IDs
for the USB printers currently connected to the system may be viewed
by running
/usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
or for all printers with
lpinfo -v
and set with
lpadmin -p PRINTER -v 'usb://DEVICE-ID'
Alternatively, this may be done using the CUPS web interface by browsing to
https://localhost:631/printers
and then choosing "Modify Printer" for each printer in question.
The available printers will be shown in a list.
