Bug#1060681: README.Debian outdated



Package: cups-daemon
Version: 2.4.7-1+b1
Severity: minor

The file /usr/share/doc/cups-daemon/README.Debian.gz claims that cups
can be configured via its web interface and that further documentation
can be found through the web interface:

> Setting up a local print queue
> ==============================
> 
> The command line tools, lpadmin and lpinfo, can be used for this. Also,
> depending on what is installed on your system, a queue may be set up in an
> automated way. However, cups provides a web interface to accomplish the
> same task. It is accessed from a browser with
> 
>    http://localhost:631
> 
> There is copious documentation under 'Online Help' and 'Printers' will
> display a list of local and remote print queues.

However, this interface is only accessible if the cups package (which
provides files /usr/lib/cups/cgi-bin/*) is installed. Please consider
updating README.Debian to specify that users need to install the cups
package to administer cups-daemon via the web interface.

Best wishes,
Ryan
