“A few weeks ago, Jonathan had asked me on IRC in passing why
kprinter and KDEPrint 3.5.1 didn’t work with CUPS-1.2. My reply had

developers decided for.“Regarding an impending CUPS-1.2 release, prospects have become
much brighter in the meanwhile. During March, Mike Sweet released 2
Betas and the first Release Candidate. So a final 1.2.0 release
seems pretty close now…”
