I can't get it working :'(

If I use your patch, I can only print from the server. The printers are not polled to the clients.

Moreover, cups takes 100% of CPU when running like this.

with your patch, [cups-polld] is effectively running as cupsys
ps axu | grep cup
mathieu 21783 0.0 0.0 3912 768 pts/1 S+ 17:08 0:00 tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log
cupsys 23636 89.8 0.0 40208 4068 ? Rs 17:23 3:40 /usr/sbin/cupsd
cupsys 23637 0.0 0.0 18304 1600 ? S 17:23 0:00 cups-polld jacinthe.seyssins.gripp.fr 631 30 631

and without it, it runs as root :(
ps axu | grep cup
mathieu 21783 0.0 0.0 3912 768 pts/1 S+ 17:08 0:00 tail -f /var/log/cups/error_log
cupsys 24634 7.0 0.0 39936 3664 ? Ss 17:27 0:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd

So, i'm still using my crontab's workaround :
0 0 * * * sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys stop && sudo pkill cups-polld && sudo /etc/init.d/cupsys start

We're using Dapper and cupsys 1.2.2-0ubuntu0.6.06
