Bug#766334: BrowseAllow all gets into cups-browsed.conf by default resulting in no remote printers
Hi Michal, and thanks for your bugreport,
I think I understand the problem you're having, let's see.

Are you saying that all "BrowseAllow" stanzas _but_ "BrowseAllow all"
should have been taken over by cups-browsed?

We try to avoid doing explicit prompts unless really _really_ important,
we're not in such a case here…
Till: What would you think of the above proposal? It kinda-makes sense
for me: in CUPS < 1.5 meaning, "BrowseAllow all" meant "accept packets
from anywhere", but in cups-browsed meaning, this is completely
discarded, and the same meaning is achieved without any 'BrowseAllow'
stanza. I'd welcome your input there.
Cheers,
