Hi,

If one compares the references webpages to manpages they seem rich
in comparison. For example if I go to the
http://localhost/help/ref-printers-conf.html?TOPIC=References&QUERY=
I get more detailed doc then when I go
http://localhost/631/help/man-printers.conf.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages&QUERY=

I suppose the response would be, one is a reference ;-)

Another instance is lpoptions which doesn't explain much that one can do
with the -o option
whereas http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/options.html is richly
detailed. As for as
I can tell this webpage doesn't even get installed, i.e., I have to go
to www.cups.org to
read it.
