Comment 39 for bug 881843

Hi, I'm using Kubuntu 11.10 and I have the same issue with a
U.S. Robotics Wireless MAXg ADSL Gateway
with a HP Laserjet 6L connected through the usb connection (using a paraller to USB connector)
The patch at #12 worked for me and just to recap I followed the following steps:

* install with synaptic or other package manager "po4a"
* Run "mkdir cups && cd cups && apt-get source cups" to fetch Ubuntu's source code for CUPS and place it in its own directory.
* Change to the "cups-1.5.0" directory, then run "patch -p1 < ipp-patch-file", where ipp-patch-file is the location of the patch file.
* Download the patch file in comment #12
* Run "./configure"
* Run "make"
* Run these next two commands to back up the existing ipp backend file and replace it with the new one:
 - "sudo cp /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp-backup"
 - "sudo cp ./ipp /usr/lib/cups/backend/ipp"

Thanks all for the help on this!
Note: if I try to install the patched version on its own the KDE printing doesn't work.
