[STR New]

The CUPS web interface 'admin' screen is nice and simple to use, but it's a
bit too simple.  A big improvement would be to provide a form for
selecting network interfaces to publish printers on, rather than just
broadcasting on all interfaces.

Currently, publishing shared printers broadcasts on all interfaces.  Most
users are unaware of this behaviour and might unknowingly send IPP
messages over insecure cable/ADSL lines.
