[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#370409: cupsys: When modifying a printer, the UI forgets the device URI

Did you ever dare to click on "Continue" when that page was
displayed? 

I did.

Result: the next page does display the complete current device 
URI setting.

So in fact, CUPS does not "forget" the setting.

Caveat: I' currently running a self-compiled SVN trunk (r5630).
        So at least it works in this version without the annoyance
        you report. Please verify, if it works for your version too.

Cheers,
