I have fixed the milestoned bugs
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/149529
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/149264
and packaged system-config-printer for them today, well before your
freeze announcement, but unfortunately after my usual upload sponsors
pitti and doko have left. Can you do the upload for me.
The package with debdiff is here
http://www.linux-foundation.org/~till/tmp/ubuntu/gutsy/system-config-printer/
The changes are very small and I have tested them and they really fix
the two bugs.
The impact of the fix is rather high: Currently no Canon inkjet gets set
up automatically even with Gutenprint supporting it and the job viewer's
menu entry goes into the KDE-only "System Tools" menu (so makes a menu
for itself on non-KDE Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Edubuntu).
Here is the Debian ChangeLog:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
system-config-printer (0.7.75+svn1653-0ubuntu2) gutsy; urgency=low
* debian/patches/10_menu_entries.patch: Let menu entry for displaying
queued jobs appear in the "Accessories" menu and not under "Systemn
Tools". "Systemn Tools" is KDE-specific (LP: #149529).
* debian/patches/20_match_more_printers.patch: Do best match by
"most important word" case-insensitive. This matches especially
the Canon printers correctly with the Gutenprint PPDs (LP: #149264).
