I have chased down the issue with printing with cups and linux apps, 
particularly acroread. Some of you may know how to do this already, but 
I've been debugging it myself for the past few hours- and googling my 
brains out.

The port maintainer for linux-f10-libcups is this list, so here I am. 
The port requires dependencies on linux-f10-libgpg-error and 
linux-f10-gnutls (also maintained by the list). How do we adjust this?

For that matter, the acroread port needs to depend on the libcups too. 
I'll have to contact the maintainer on that one.

My interest in this is that the acroreader is needed in the graphics 
industry (almost a rule in Oz), and this would go a long way to helping 
out acceptance in that niche.

And before you mention it Alex: I can take over the maintainership of 
both (if required), but I want to ensure my first works out ok beforehand.

Cheers
