Some bugs and wishlist items were submitted to the
Debian bug tracking system concerning lpadmin.
(#182333, #182335, #182336, and 182340) What do you think?
* The interface fails to properly display (and
administrate!) printers which have non-ASCII characters
in the description. Only an empty line will be
displayed and choosing "list" confirms that the whole
entry for these printers appears to be screwed up
* The interface does not display nor support the
definition of CUPS location entries.
* The module does not support the administration of
printer classes. Printer classes are available with
CUPS- and System V-style printing systems.
* The module does not support the configuration of the
cups daemon itself, i.e. the contents of the cupsd.conf
file. It is also not possible to configure the client
programs which use the client.conf file.

1 - Definately a bug, which will be fixed in the next release.
2 - Maybe will be added someday
3 - I will add this to my TODO list, as it should be pretty easy.
4 - This should really be a totally separate module, as the
lpadmin module is supposed to provide a generic interface for
all print systems.
