No more editing the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file to allow for use of Internet Pritining Protocol out of subnet printers.
This is great. Dozens of gui wrappers exist for most .conf files. Yet they always fall short in some way. If apple can do this right, I know many a sys-admin who would be secretly lusting after such technology.
I spent the last week configuring dozens of cups printers in redhat 9 and the current tools are maddening at best. Well, at least the obscurity of how to set up these files provides job security.

For all the grif we give apple .. it does look like they are operating against a roadmap the aims to remoce the complexity of managing .conf files.
