[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#489892: Browsing works again

[Rainer Dorsch]

Hello,

I started over from a clean /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and it turned out that my 
problem disappeared and was caused by a user error. I tracked my issue down 
and it seem that this directive caused the problem:

  <Limit All>
    Order deny,allow
#    Order allow,deny
  </Limit>
</Policy>

When I use "Order allow,deny", I do not get printer lists on clients.

The full cupsd.conf
