[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#370688: cupsys: sharing a printer fails

[A.M.P. Boelens]

Package: cupsys
Version: 1.2.1-2
Severity: normal


I would expect that setting the option

"Share published printers connected to this system"

on the cups web interface and publishing my printer would share my printer on
the network, but it doesn't. I manualy had to add

"Listen <server name>:631"

to "/etc/cups/cups.d/ports.conf". Could this be because the file
"/var/run/cups/cups.sock", which is refered to in "ports.conf" doesn't exist on
my system?
