[cups] Fwd: [Printing-architecture] CUPS 2.4.7 is released!

[Zdenek Dohnal]

Hi,

releases from www.cups.org are from project Apple/CUPS, the one I 
announced is OpenPrinting/CUPS - https://openprinting.github.io/cups/

OpenPrinting CUPS was forked several years ago from Apple CUPS to 
develop new features and fix long standing issues.

AFAIK most Linux distros switched to OpenPrinting CUPS.
