[STR New]

Installing CUPS 1.2.8 on Mac OSX breaks the shipped Mac printer setup GUI
applications.  This should be made clear to Mac users prior to install, in
the same way as the warning about needing to reinstall the OS should there
be a need to revert to CUPS 1.1 is presented in the DMG file. 
Functionality such as printer sharing, renaming printers, etc. is broken
because of restructured config files, which is fine, so long as the user
is aware of it before needing to do an OS reinstall.
