[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#612285: cups: Clarify relationship between BrowseProtocols and BrowseLocalProtocols, BrowseRemoteProtocols documentation

[Sam Morris]

Package: cups
Version: 1.4.5-2
Severity: normal

The documentation says:

  The BrowseProtocols directive specifies the protocols to use when showing and advertising shared printers on the local network.

 The BrowseRemoteProtocols directive specifies the protocols to use when finding remote shared printers on the network.

  The BrowseLocalProtocols directive specifies the protocols to use when advertising local shared printers on the network.

It does not say whether BrowseProtocols overrides the other two, or
vice-versa.
