Bug#353323: gnome-cups-manager unable to change name/info about printer

Package: gnome-cups-manager
Version: 0.31-1.1
Severity: normal

It is impossible to change the name/description of the printers using
gnome-cups-manager.  Although there is a "Description" field in the
printer properties, this is not saved when changed by the user.  The
name of the printer can't be changed at all.

As you can imagine, this is pretty annoying.  We use 4 different HP
printers here, which use the same printer driver, and are therefore
named identically by gnome-cups-manager.
