I have filed three new bugs upstream now for these issues. This is deliberate since I know upstream are reluctant to work around every possible print server bug from last time.

http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3986:

This is the original bug regarding Novell print servers, and the patch is the same as in comment #12 here.

http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3987:

This covers the remainder of the patches here, and attempts to sort out the Livebox2 issues. As disabling chunking is seen as a large change to work around one printer server's bugs, this is unlikely to be accepted upstream unfortunately. Does anyone know if OS X Lion compatibility has been filed as an issue with Orange France or Sagem?

http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3988:

This is the bug where print data can be lost if the print server does not support HTTP 1.1 (fixed in comment #46 here). I separated this bug out since this is a true (if rarely triggered) bug in upstream, as opposed to a workaround for print server bugs. This may well get fixed, but will achieve nothing for Livebox2 users without the chunking patches being included too.
