Bug#432454: hpijs: NEWS.Debian is vague regarding "Modify printer" command

["A. Costa" <agcosta@gis.net>]

Package: hpijs
Version: 2.6.10+1.6.10-4.1
Severity: normal

My HP920c printer doesn't work after upgrading.  I try the NEWS.Debian advice, again,
as I have many times before:

    % zgrep "reinstall the printer" /usr/share/doc/hpijs/NEWS.Debian.gz -m 1 -A 4
    Note: to update a PPD, you have to reinstall the printer or use the
    "modify printer" command in a CUPS administrative interface.  See
    Debian bug report #333746 for more information.

So as root I run 'gnome-cups-manager', but can't find any
"modify printer" command.  It's probably in some other CUPS front-end
program, but I've forgotten which.

It would be better if the above instructions gave the program by name,
(as can be invoked from the command line, so that users needn't
hunt through their menus), as well as what package has the program in
question in case it's not currently installed.  If there's more than
one package/program, then those others should also be named.

Example:

	Debian Package name	foob
	Command line name	/bin/usr/fooblive
	Menu name:  		Applications>Setup>Foobar 2000 Turbo!
	fooblive submenu:	Edit>Setup>Admin>modify printer

(Seems like this sort of info ought to be standardized.  Sort of like
 a URL or URI standard for program functions.  People forget stuff like this
 all the time.)

HTH...
