Package: cups-browsed
Severity: minor
Version: 1.0.28-1
Dear CUPS Maintainers,
I guess that many people are happy about the existence of this package,
so am I. :-)
But from the long description it is unclear to me and my coworkers at
which point in the common CUPS < 1.6 vs CUPS > 1.6 scenarios this
package can or should be installed:
1) On the CUPS >= 1.6 server so that CUPS < 1.6 clients can browse his
printer list?
2) On the CUPS >= 1.6 client so that it can browse the printer list of
CUPS < 1.6 printer servers?
3) On the CUPS < 1.6 server so that CUPS >= 1.6 clients can browse his
printer list?
4) On the CUPS < 1.6 client so that it can browse the printer list of
CUPS >= 1.6 printer servers?
Or even a completely different setup like some proxy machine which
queries the >= 1.6 server and broadcasts its printers to < 1.6 clients?
So please update the long descrption of that package accordingly to make
clear where the package should be installed and where not.
TIA!
