[STR New]

I'm the ArchLinux cups and printer packages maintainer. My setup at home
has a printer conected to a server a I usually control the server from
remote client desktops.

I failed adding my usb printer in cups 1.4.x. The webinterface redirects
me now to "admin" pages then the ssl handling fails. This is with default
DefaultEncryption not changed and should be set to "Required". It worked
in the past in cups 1.3.x - now the server dies and needs a kill -9 here.

I tried to solve it with setting "ifRequested", that brings the login box
and allows remote access to the admin pages. But this brings up a
different problem: with this option set cups can't find my usb printer
anymore. lpinfo -v doesn't shows it anymore after a daemon restart. Our
cups is built the same way like we did in the past --enable-ssl=yes
--enable-gnutls.

Any idea? Can you cofirm this?
