[cups.general] Documentation? You call that Documentation?

You guys are the piss-poorest documentation writers in the history of
computation.  The purpose of documentation is to inform others how to
use your product.  But if you don't know how to communicate your ideas
you are incapable of communication.  As a case in point, printers.conf
lists the following description:

"KLimit number
    Specifies the job-k-limit value for the printer."

Are you kidding?  I don't know what a KLimit is.  After reading your
definition, I STILL don't know what a KLimit is.  It's the same as
writing "Frammis Valve:  The valve on the frammis."  Well Duh!  Now it's
clear to you what a frammis is, right?

Do us all a favor and hire someone who isn't as dazzled by his own
brilliance and who is capable of conveying an idea, okay?

Of course in my case, I still need to find someone who can explain why I
get "quota limit reached" whenever I try to print and why creating a
printer on the web interface (and saving it) fails to create a printer.

Naturally, you haven't addressed that little gem either, and I don't
suppose you will.
