After finally getting around to running through the test cases[*], I
pushed the debathena-printing-config version that includes the logic to
always communicate with the backend CUPS server to production.
Unfortunately I didn't remember this before the 6am 2-hour desync cycle,
so we're only guaranteed for machines to take this after the 8am 6-hour
desync cycle (i.e., by 2pm). lpq and lprm should work now and things
should in general be a little bit less painful (e.g.,
-Zsimplex/duplex/duplexshort are converted to -o sides=whatever, and even
-h should work).
Can the more OLCy folks among you than I (jdreed, broder, whomever) take
care of the relevant tickets? I don't like replying to users at 7 AM; I
get kind of bitter.
[*] This is /mit/debathena/doc/printing-test-plan.txt. When you take the
Cartesian product of that and [CUPS, LPRng], the number of
pages you need to print out to push a printing-config become
somewhat exorbitant. I even skipped the color printing ones.
