Package: task-gnome-desktop

Version: 3.68

As of Debian 11, Print Server is no longer included as an option in the Debian installer if you use the defaults: Debian desktop environment, GNOME and standard system utilities. Ref: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=950553

This leaves the user without CUPS after a default install. This should perhaps be included in task-gnome-desktop

Suggestion: It may be wise to include CUPS in task-gnome-desktop or somewhere else, since there are no instructions informing the user how they can enable support for printing.

I am using Linux debian 5.10.0-8-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.46-4 (2021-08-03) x86_64 GNU/Linux
