Dear All,
Please, ignore me. All settings are indeed in /etc/cups.
Solution in my case was: calm down, go across the hallway and get yourself
coffee, drink it and do something else for 5 min (maybe write "person in
distress" e-mail...). And all will be what is expected after that.
Still: is there more elegant way to replicate CUPS configuration, than
just copy /etc/cups ?
Thnaks.
Valeri
