We have just marked the "CUPS" package deprecated. It has not been updated since May 2012, and our currently packaged version is 1.3.11 while upstream is at 2.0.2. Older versions such as 1.3.11 are known to have major security issues, so we cannot continue to have it packaged in Buildroot. You can help by packaging CUPS 2.0.2, and also updating foomatic-filters, gutenprint and hplip if needed. Thanks for your help, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, CTO, Free Electrons Embedded Linux, Kernel and Android engineering http://free-electrons.com
