I just saw an update come through on my Ubuntu 22.04 machine for CUPS. I know that Apple is the steward/owner of CUPS now, so I wonder if it's a related update.

Apple hasn't been paying for CUPS for a number of years now.

Apple is not employing Michael R Sweet anymore, that doesn't mean MacOS is not using cups.

I said "paying", not "using".

I don’t think that Apple uses CUPS anymore.

I believe it's still used. Whenever I print anything (Sonoma 14.4) I have to allow connections for 'cupsd'.
