Sorry for the late reply. There were more urgent things coming up.

The CUPS patch mentioned in the Red Hat bug report is applied to our CUPS package. Our IPP backend is the SVN snapshot of March 14 and the said patch was introduced on Feb 14.

So we have even a bunch more fixes. I hope these do not introduce a regression.

So you most probably have the IPP backend of CUPS 1.5.2 plus the patch of SVN rev 10277. I have the state of SVN rev 10325. Most suspect for me for being the culprit of a regression is SVN rev 10287.

I recommend you to report a bug upstream (http://www.cups.org/str.php) telling that current SVN rev 10325 which is what Ubuntu uses causes the problem. Add references to the Red Hat bufg and tell that CUPS 1.5.2 + rev 10277 only works, so that the other patches between 1.5.2 and rev 10325 must have introduced a regression.

Please do all tests and traffic capturing which you have done for the Red Hat bug also on Precise and add the results to the upstream bug.

Post a link to the upstream bug here.

If this will get fixed upstream I will issue a Stable Release Update (SRU) for Precise to make the fix available for all users.
