[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#512234: bug which maybe isn't a bug

[Simon Effenberg]

Package: cups
Severity: normal

Hi,

maybe i'm wrong but is this really a bug? The documentation says directly (see
README.txt.gz in docs) that you should connect to http://localhost:631/ the
problem is that cupsd won't listen on 127.0.1.1 so it is (on my system) not a
problem with @LOCAL but with the listening address. But i think it is not a bug
even if its a little bit confusing.

Correct me if i misunderstood anything or am wrong.

Thanks
Simon
