| description | The version of cups shipped with Linux-Mandrake 8.0 has a problem where when a user prints a multi-page PostScript file with embedded pictures, the pages following the first with the picture are all printed on the same page, one on top of the other. From multi-page Abiword files (only text) only the last page is printed. This update resolves this bug. As well, the upstream 1.1.7 release of cups fixes some security issues. |
