Title:
cups-client does not create /etc/cups directory, let alone client.conf
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: cups-client
This concerns cups-client 1.4.2-10 in Lucid beta1.
When you install the cups-client package, there is no sign whatsoever
of the all-important /etc/cups/client.conf file; even the /etc/cups
directory is not present.
The package should install a client.conf file, with helpful comments
therein, as is customary for other client-type programs (e.g. dumb
MTAs). This is particularly relevant for sites that use a central CUPS
server (i.e. the "cups" package is not locally installed).
