[cups.bugs] Printer spitting out "configurationerror" printouts

[Michael Sweet]

If you enable debug logging (cupsctl --debug-logging) then the error_log will list the programs being run to get your job to print.

>From there you can find out what packages provide those programs (typically installed in /usr/lib/cups/filter).

Then you can look for newer versions of those packages...
