CUPS 1.3.5: Cannot use printer ShortNames

[Evan Bradley]

<sigh>

Apparently today is just not my day.  Everything I want to say appears in the 'Body' field of the post message page, but everything after the output of the lpstat -a command is truncated when I click 'Post Message'.  :-\

I read that this was a known bug in one of the 1.2.* versions of CUPS, (and I realize that our server needs to be upgraded...we're in the process), but I can't upgrade the server to 1.3.5 until I know for sure that the inability to use printer ShortNames is the fault of the server and not the client machine running 1.3.5.
