[STR New]

I'm running Debian-testing mostly.  I've been running larger networks of
CUPS daemons for years being able to concentrate and route printing jobs
using cupsd on several connected hosts by simply resharing remote printers
to pass jobs between daemons.

Up until three months ago, this has worked flawlessly on Debian-testing. 
As of now I notice that remote printers get their shared attribute forced
off.  Checking the source code the cause is quite obvious.  The patch is
attached and is trivial.  It restores the old functionality.

It kind of makes me wonder why someone decided to turn off this useful
functionality at all?
