The question now remains: shall we simply ship /etc/cups/client.conf as package file in debian-edu-config or treat/create-if-not-there that file with cfengine.As the file only makes sense along with the instructions, it would IMO be best to add these to a Printing Know How chapter of the manual and to avoid shipping/creating the file.
I don't like creating that file from scratch either. We don't know with what we will conflict later.
However, deploying systems that cannot print via TJENER right away sounds a bit awkward, too, IMHO.
The deeper question are... Why doesn't CUPS browsing work out of the box?Why does it require a BrowsePoll entry in cups-browsed.conf (at least it does here...)?
Right?Basically, if cups-browsed is installed, the local cupsd of a Debian Edu client should "find" the shared printers on the network.
Maybe we should attempt at getting this fixed?
