[cups.general] BrowsePoll show unpublished printers (bug?)

[Brian Kroth]

I've applied the r8528:r8529 patch to the Debian source I'm running and
it seems to be working just fine now.  I'll keep the patched debs in my
repository until Debian updates to your fixed release.

Thanks for your help,
Brian
