Hi NoOp,
I'm using Debian (not Ubuntu) with a 2.6.22 kernel and like you just got an
auto-update 2.0.0.6 from TB. I just tried printing from TB on my Cups
printer and it works with no problem. Printing is normal. I did have to
change the page size on the Print properties of TB. It had reverted back to
8.5"x11" and I had to reset it to A4. It did print before I did this but
maybe your printer is fussier than mine? Do you see your Cups printer in
the File -> Print... menu? Are the properties as they should be?
Cheers,
Jonathan
