[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#463752: cupsys-client: ambiguous ref to /etc/cups/lpoptions

[Sanjoy Mahajan]

Package: cupsys-client
Version: 1.3.5-1+b1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/share/man/man1/lpoptions.1.gz

I misinterpreted this statement in the manpage for lpoptions:

       When run by the root user, lpoptions gets and sets default options  and
       instances for all users in the /etc/cups/lpoptions file.

I thought that, if root uses lpoptions, those options apply to the
userids in /etc/cups/lpoptions.  A few other packages that have that
kind of behavior, though it's not common.

When I looked at the lpoptions file itself, I realized what the
manpage meant.  So perhaps:

       When run by the root user, lpoptions gets and sets default
       options and instances for all users, storing the data in the
       /etc/cups/lpoptions file.
