I myself have no problem myself with the existing statement. . . . , lpoptions "does something" in the /etc/cups/lpoptions file. is the way I would see it. But I have sympathy with your version and it might be marginally better. Arguing your case would be done at http://www.cups.org/str.php Because of this and because it is an enhancement request I'm putting its severity at wishlist. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-printing-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
