[cups.general] Behaviour of BrowseRemoteOptions

[Ralf Schade]

Hi Michael
Thx for the answers...didn't satisfy me at all ;)

I'll try it in an other way:
Is it possible (in an easy way) to add '?waitjob=false&waitprinter=false' to
ALL remote printers I've configured?
Without using lpadmin on all printers....that's annoying, trust me ;)

Ralf
