Package: cupsys
Version: 1.1.23-10sarge1

Problem:
We've got a LAN with many printers attached to Linux computers. Of course we use CUPS for printer sharing. When configuring printers in builtin cups web manager on localhost:631, there is quite a big mischmatch in URLs used. 

Example1:
I've got a LOCAL printer on PC named inform8. I open admin using localhost:631 and click on the printer in order to make a change. I got "Forbidden" because the web manager tryes to edit printer on "inform8.misbb.sk" instead of "localhost". I must add access in cupsd.conf on each machine in order to allow the access to FQDN of local machine. Silly. 

Example2:
I see networked printers thanks to CUPS broadcasting, too. I wish to make one of them my default. If I simply press "Make default", I get "Forbidden" too, because as seen on the URL under the button, it tryes to set the local printer ON TARGET MACHINE WHERE THE PRINTER IS ATTACHED. Of course, we don't allow users to set printers for remote machines (CUPS servers); it would be messy if users could change printers settings of each other. Not to say the security issues implied... If one wishes to set the networked printer to be his default for his own machine, he must copy the URL from the "Make Default" button, paste it in browser and edit so that FQDN (or localhost) of local PC is used instead of the remote guy who is harrassed only because he has printer connected :o)
I don't know, this (Example2) behaviour could be mentioned as tool for remote administration, however if this is the case, there should be 2 buttons available: Local default and Remote default.

Dear bug submitter,

This bug was reported against a very old version of cups (older than
in the current stable Debian version "Etch"). About a year ago,
Martin-Eric Racine asked for feedback whether the bug still applied to
the current Debian Etch version, but we did not get any feedback. In
order to not keep around old, hardware-specific, and inactive bugs
around forever, I close this bug now.

Please report back if you still experience the problem with the
current version in Etch; if you can test Lenny/unstable, that would be
highly appreciated, of course. I will reopen this bug then.

Thank you for your report!

Martin
