[8u] Request for approval : 8032693 - javax.print.PrintService does not find any CUPS-Printers on Linux

[Jeff Dinkins]

Looks good, approved for 8u-dev.

Since the numbers sometimes change I prefer [8u] over the explicit release number, until after the fork when you have something explicit (and urgent) that needs to get back into the update that’s getting close release.

So, [8u] means next open release pre-fork. [8uX] means you’re targeting an explicit release post-fork.

Sean, Rob, Dalibor, did this get codified on a wiki page?
