How do I report this CUPS problem (in Ubuntu 9.10 CUPS configuration)?

[Chris G]

I have found that there's a problem with the Ubuntu 9.10 CUPS
configuration, it has messed up the default font and font size for
command line lp/lpr.

The CUPS 1.3.9 in Ubuntu 9.04 works fine whereas the CUPS 1.4.1 in
Ubuntu 9.10 gets the default font for lp/lpr wrong and ignores any
attempt to change the font size.

I got in touch with the CUPS developers and I have a quick and nasty
workaround which is to comment out the "text/plain" line in
/usr/share/cups/mime/texttopdf.convs.

What the CUPS developer said to me was (with some context from the
exchange) :-

    >>>   D [04/Dec/2009:17:42:00 +0000] PID 2650 (/usr/lib/cups/filter/texttopdf) exited with no e rrors.
    >>
    >> This is the problem.  Please report this to the Ubuntu folks - they
    need to fix their text f ilter.

    Look for a *.convs file in /usr/share/cups/mime or /etc/cups that has
    "texttopdf" in it.  Comment out any lines that refer to this filter and restart cupsd.

    They need to support the standard CUPS text options documented here:

Who/what/where should I report this issue?
