[cups.bugs] [LOW] STR #1637: "What's New in CUPS 1.2?" does not mention the snmp backend

[STR New]

The snmp backend should be mentioned in "What's New in CUPS 1.2?"

Also, it is not entirely clear to me under which conditions exactly its
discoveries are getting displayed in the web interface. I'll find out more
through experimenting -- but then I do not know if that does match the
intended conditions or not.

2 preliminary results from my experiments:


1. all discovered network printers are automatically listed in the 
   web interface if I use this cupsd.conf (snippet):
   
       <Policy default>
         <Limit All>
           Order Deny,Allow
           Deny from all
           Allow from 127.0.0.1
       </Limit>
     </Policy>

   and then launch http://localhost:631/admin

2. auto-discovery results never show up if I start the web based printer
   installer wizard via http://localhost:631/admin?op=add-printer 
   (whatever the cupsd.conf configuration is).
