On a related note, I'd just like to get them to stop letting CUPS serve the whole @#$@#!! subnet by default, combined with defaulting to browsing=on. It's just ugly finding out some dimwit accidentally shot the entire jdk1.4 javadoc to the damned plotter (multiple times) because of default wide-open perms to the subnet. He kept hitting the "print" button over and over and over because it wasn't coming out on the Ricoh. That one screwup only cost about $70 worth of paper, and it's only that low because the plotter ran out. Needless to say, cupsd.conf got attention on all the workstations, but it gets f@##$d up again every time I update CUPS, though. -- Brad Felmey
