Hi Asli (and Alex, and Geoff),
This is a known issue. It's not an intentional change, but it is
the case that print jobs spooled through CUPS on Debathena don't
result in you getting zephyr notifications when your job completes.
We hope to get it working again at some point. However, even more
confusing is the fact that you will still get zephyr notifications
for errors, such as a printer that has run out of paper or jammed.
Thanks again for getting in touch with us!
Mitch
