Note: CUPS has a denial of service vulnerability - apparently you can make
a badly formed request, it doesn't time out, and it ties up the queue(s)
until somebody fixes the problem manually. I don't have the exact link,
but you can dig at linuxsecurity.org and find something. I'm sure it will
be fixed soon, if it isn't already. Something to watch out for in the
meantime, though.
