[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#616718: cups: Attempting to add a printer gives a forbidden error

[Aaron Barany]

Package: cups
Version: 1.4.4-7
Severity: important

After a fresh install of cups, if I attempt to add a printer from
"http://localhost:631" I get a forbidden error. This occurs on the first page
before I have a chance to add any information.
