Printer configuration dialog has an active checkbox that shouldn't be

[will_in_wi]

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

When the program starts up as well as after every apply, the allow printing from the internet checkbox is active, even though the share published printers connected to this system is not. If you check or uncheck any checkbox, it becomes inactive, after applying it is active again.

Forgot to mention. Ubuntu Gutsy Beta

Please clarify what you mean back 'active'. There are two ways in which that control can change: sensitive or not sensitive (greyed-out); and ticked or not ticked.

Also, the behaviour may depend on the other settings -- can you let us know which check-boxes are ticked?

Thanks.

In this case active = sensitive. I will attach a picture showing what I mean.

Does this help?

I just committed what I hope is a fix for this in revision 1644.
