Hi All,

I've uploaded an updated zip of CUPS (Common Unix Printer System) v1.3.9 to 
http://svn.netlabs.org/ecups

Most of the files are the same as the December 2008 release, however there 
are two key updates:
1) the inclusion of a backend for usb printers, which makes the CUPS port 
much easier to use for those people who have a locally attached USB printer
2) an updated shell which resolves most of the reported problems running 
pstoraster

The included readme.os2 has a brief run through on how to test, more 
detailed instructions are in the eCUPS HowTo document at 
http://svn.netlabs.org/ecups/wiki/HowTo - please note that this HowTo has 
not (yet) been updated to reflect the inclusion of the USB backend.

Please report feedback, either directly to me at paul at smedley.id.au - or to 
the eCUPS mailing list (news://news.gmane.org/gmane.org.netlabs.ecups.devel).

Success with printers can also be reported at 
http://en.ecomstation.ru/hardware.php?action=addnew

Thanks,

Paul.
