CUPS 1.2.1 fixes several build, platform, and printing bugs. Changes include:

    * The web interface did not handle reloads properly for MSIE (STR #1716)
    * The configure script no longer adds linker rpath options when they are unnecessary.
    * The scheduler could crash printing a debug message on Solaris (STR #1714)
    * The --enable-32bit and --enable-64bit configure options did not always work.
    * The password prompt showed the domain socket address instead of "localhost" for local authentication (STR #1706)
    * The web interface filtered the list of printers even if the user wasn't logged in (STR #1700)
    * The IPP backend did not work reliably with some Xerox printers (STR #1704)
    * Trailing banners were not added when printing a single file (STR #1698)
    * The web interface support programs crashed on Solaris (STR #1699)
    * cupstestppd incorrectly reported problems with *1284DeviceID attributes (STR #1710)
    * Browsing could get disabled after a restart (STR #1670)
    * Custom page sizes were not parsed properly (STR #1709)
    * The -U option wasn't supported by lpadmin (STR #1702)
    * The -u option didn't work with lpadmin (STR #1703)
    * The scheduler did not create non-blocking back-channel pipes, which caused problems when the printer driver did not read the back-channel data (STR #1705)
    * The scheduler no longer uses chunking in responses to clients - this caused problems with older versions of CUPS like 1.1.17 (PR #6143)
    * Automatic raw printing was broken (STR #1667)
    * 6-up printing was broken (STR #1697)
    * The pstops filter did not disable CTRL-D processing on the printer/RIP.
    * ppdOpen*() did not load custom options properly (STR #1680)
    * "Set Printer Options" in the web interface did not update the DefaultImageableArea or DefaultPaperDimension attributes in the PPD file (STR #1689)
    * Fixed compile errors (STR #1682, STR #1684, STR #1685, STR #1690)
    * The lpstat command displayed the wrong error message for a missing destination (STR #1683)
    * Revised and completed the Polish translation (STR #1669)
    * Stopped jobs did not show up in the list of active jobs (STR #1676)
    * The configure script did not use the GNU TLS "libgnutls-config" script to find the proper compiler and linker options.
    * The imagetoraster filter did not correctly generate several 1, 2, and 4-bit color modes.
    * cupsRasterWritePixels() could lose track of the current output row.
    * cupsRasterReadPixels() did not automatically swap 12/16-bit chunked pixel data.
    * Moved the private _cups_raster_s structure out of the public header.
    * Updated the CUPS raster format specification to include encoding rules and colorspace definitions.
    * The Zebra PPD files had the wrong PostScript code for the "default" option choices.
    * The imagetoraster filter did not generate correct CIE XYZ or Lab color data.
    * The cups-config script did not work when invoked from a source directory (STR #1673)
    * The SNMP backend did not compile on systems that used the getifaddrs emulation functions (STR #1668)
