Has anyone yet found a way around the issue where Firefox says it can't
negotiate a common encryption method, when talking to a cups-1.2.x server?

I have the latest Firefox, with all encryption stuff installed ( and
activated in about:config ).

My cups.conf file:

LogLevel debug
SystemGroup lpadmin
Listen localhost:631
Listen 192.168.1.10:631
Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock
