    99Known issues:
    10 - adding printer using the web interface doesn't work - it hangs trying
    11 to detect the attached printers.  Adding a printer from the command line
    12 using lpadmin does however work.
    13 - currently tested printer backends are ipp & lpd - usb isn't working.
    14 However, in the meantime, you can create a printer object for the USB
    15 printer, and run the OS/2 lpd daemon and print to a usb printer using
    16 the lpd backend in cups.
    17 - cups and associated programs are hardcoded to be in \gs, \gutenprint & \cups
    18 - to reduce the size of the archive, only en_GB language Gutenprint ppd files are included
