[STR New]
The web interface now sports 4 easily accessibly checkboxes that are
supposed to switch on or off some key options:
[x] Show printers shared by other systems
[ ] Share published printers connected to this system
[ ] Allow remote administration
[x] Allow users to cancel any job (not just their own)
[x] Save debugging information for troubleshooting
However, I found that this function does sometime yield unexpected
results. If I start up cupsd with a config file that displays itself like
the above example, a simple clicking (i.e. with none of the settings
changed) the "Change Settings" link will
a) ask for a password
b) and change the setting to now look like
[ ] Show printers shared by other systems
[ ] Share published printers connected to this system
[ ] Allow remote administration
[ ] Allow users to cancel any job (not just their own)
[x] Save debugging information for troubleshooting
Also, item a) above is happening unexpectedly, since my original
cupsd.conf file has this section:
<Policy default>
<Limit All>
AuthType None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Satisfy Any
</Limit>
</Policy>
which should normally not lead to any authentication asked because
<Location /admin> and <Location /admin/conf> dont have any policy of their
own defined.
