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,
Kurt
