I think there are additional issues with browsing and CUPS 1.2. I spent quite a lot of the weekend trying to set up browsing between two systems, and I *still* haven't got it working. And this is with a correctly hand-configured cupsd.conf. For the OP, see http://lists.debian.org/debian-printing/2006/06/msg00340.html >> We won't even talk about why the web interface offers to let you edit >> cupsd.conf (to fix things, no doubt), but the package seems to set the >> permissions on that file to make it impossible. AFAICT, this is only an issue for upgrades. This feature is of dubious value. See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=372727 > This is another bug.

However, I think this should be disabled, because it can't save back a sane configuration. It scrambled my cupsd.conf when I tried it out.
