[STR New]
By the way, printers.conf(5) says:
It [...] is generated
automatically by the cupsd(8) program when printers are
added or
deleted.
so it seems contrary to this manpage that it is being automatically
generated when printers are not being added or deleted. The rest of
printers.conf(5) reads like a normal section 5 manpage, the clear
implication being that the canonical version of the file is maintained by
the sysadmin, and the sysadmin's changes should not be backed out
automatically by the application.
