1) cupsd default configuration make it broadcast all know printers on local 
network. While potentially useful, i think this kind of feature should be 
only turned on explicitely by people knowing what they do. So please make it 
disabled in default configuration.

2) cupsd default configuration allow administration with web interface from 
localhost only, which makes http://localhost:631/admin works. But as soon as 
one link make your URL translated to http://yourrealname:631/admin, it 
doesn't work anymore

3) installation of a new printer via web interface doesn't provide the same 
drivers as when using printerdrake. I guess that printerdrake brings some 
added-value with additional drivers, but maybe cups could be patched to 
provide the same list of drivers

4) printerdrake triggers installation of many packages: foomatic, 
printer-utils, printer-filters, gimpprint and libijs0. Are they really 
necesseary if i just want to configure cups, which only requires cups-common 
libcups and printer-test ?
