[cups.general] duplex printing via samba

[Michael De Vlaminck]

thanks for the answer but we can't use those packages here. We need
stable versions on our systems. For example libc6 must also be upgraded
and that's not an option here  :)

Any idea when the stable version (or on backports.org) of version 1.2.3
might be available?

thanks again

Michael
