1) The use of the various <Location \> directives with
extended examples would be helpful, especially as I would have
to say their use is not intuitive (e.g. removing
authentication allows you to do admin but you have to have
authentication to do jobs....) and there are aspects that
simply do not work like having to be in the SYstemGroup for
certain purposes

2) A discussion of remote printer queues and their management.
For example,  what happens when you bar access to a queue from
a hbost but print from that host anyway (it seems that
sometimes you get a forbidden message and sometimes the item
just spools and does not print. 

3) Details on the use of HOWL in conjunction with CUPS.

4) Some illustrations regarding managing networked printers
from the web interface

5) SOme illustrations addressing how to figure out how many
times your print stream is being processed and how to resolve
those problems.

6) touch on the use of webmin with cups (my guess is for many
it would actually be much easier than cups web interface.

7) most old unix hands have sets of scripts they have written
to manage things like notification of admins when the queue
goes down.  It would be nice to have a set of such scripts
that could be used to manage cups and explanations of the
scripts.


8) more simplistic guide to adding drivers.

>Iâ??m redoing all of the CUPS documentation for 1.2. What was
the most important information needed to set up your printing
system? What kind of system set-up did you have? Iâ??m looking
to write  â??friendlierâ?? documentation. Any suggestions
would be greatly appreciated. CUPS provides limitless
possibilities. What is most important to you? How do you want
it presented?
