Comment 29 for bug 879625

Thanks for feedback.
But I don't find a way to download and install the package/s you are referring to on my ubuntu 11.10.
Possbly me not being able to use launchpad correctly.
I only see this inside the "patches" box here:

 Patch to set auth_info_required="username,password" in the places it was missed. (edit)
 cups_1.5.0-8ubuntu5_1.5.0-8ubuntu6.debdiff (edit)

or do you mean that there isn't a prepackaged cups I can "simply" install and test on my Oneiric and instead I have to go with sources?
At the moment my Oneiric test desktop is fully updated and in update manager the software sources pre-released updates and unsupported updates are NOT activated. I manually installed this one and it doesn't work, that is what is inside oneiric-proposed repo

dpkg -l
gives
1.5.0-8ubuntu7

Or can I manually run on Ubuntu a command similar to this one I use on Fedora, when configuring a particular repo but not enabling it as default:

yum --enablerepo updates-testing update cups
