[STR New]

The remote-any server setting behaves oddly, and appears not to 'stick'.

Start with the cupsd.conf attached, and make a backup copy:;;;

# cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf{,.orig}

Now see what the settings are:

# cupsctl 
SystemGroup=sys root
DefaultAuthType=Basic
PreserveJobFiles=Yes
_debug_logging=0
_remote_admin=0
_remote_any=0
_remote_printers=1
_share_printers=1
_user_cancel_any=0

This is all expected.

1. Trying to change remote-any on its own has no effect.

# cupsctl --remote-any
# cupsctl | grep remote_any
_remote_any=0
# diff -U0 /etc/cups/cupsd.conf{.orig,}

2. When used in conjunction with share-printers, effect is made 'cupsctl'
still shows '0' for that option.

# cupsctl --share-printers --remote-any
# cupsctl | grep remote_any
_remote_any=0
# diff -U0 /etc/cups/cupsd.conf{.orig,}

Disabling this setting now brings the file back to its original state when
used in conjunction with share-printers:

# cupsctl --share-printers --no-remote-any
# diff -U0 /etc/cups/cupsd.conf{.orig,}
