I can confirm that in the CUPS 1.7.5 web frontend when adding
a print queue the "Share This Printer" checkbox is not checked
regardless that the DefaultShared directive for the cupsd is "yes"
and as a consequence leaving the checkbox unchecked results
the queue in /etc/cups/printers.conf with "Shared No".

In contrast using "lpadmin" results the queue in /etc/cups/printers.conf
with "Shared Yes".

Currently I cannot test if it is perhaps already fixed for CUPS 2.0.1.

Michael Sweet
should I submit a bug report at cups.org?
