</I>>>><i> Also from openprinting, there are security issues fixed in the newest foomatic-filters (needs updated in Mageia 1 and Cauldron, see Bug
</I>>>><i> 3979). They also have a new CUPS filters set that probably needs to be packaged. Upstream notes on it:
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> "Apple decided to not continue to develop and maintain the CUPS filters and backends which are not used by Mac OS X and moved them to
</I>>>><i> OpenPrinting. They also did not accept the new filters for the PDF-based printing workflow as they are also not used by Mac OS X.
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i> All these filters we continue to maintain now in one package, the OpenPrinting CUPS Filters and announce here the first stable release of
</I>>>><i> this package, versionn 1.0.1."
</I>>>><i>
</I>>>><i>
</I>>><i> As you mentioned it, there are far bigger changes coming than just
</I>>><i> adding a new cups filter package (which is still in beta state AFAIK)
</I>>><i> as that is just smaller fallout from changes explained in below links.

</I>><i> Yikes, thanks for the links Florian. The future removal of browsing and requirement of avahi is really unfortunate.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> So this work will be needed for when we move to CUPS 1.6, which will be after Mageia 2. Here's a good page that details the work we as a
</I>><i> distro will need to do:

</I>><i>
</I>><i>
</I>That's just part of the work, and i've already tried to mention that a few times.
Also in the future for print server discovery avahi would need to run on
the client and on the server, BTW.
