Bug Description
Binary package hint: cups
CUPS has an exceptionally useful feature whereby a CUPS server can announce its printers onto the network, allowing clients to JustWork with them, without requiring selection or installation of PPDs, or anything else. It also has the added benefit that laptops don't need to have dozens of static printer declarations, they will just show the printers they can actually see in their current location.
Are there any security reasons why we would not enable this by default? If no, please can we do so?
