Title:
  /etc/cups/interfaces doesn't exist; lpadmin fails to add interface
  scripts

Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: cups

  /etc/cups/interfaces does not exist by default in Ubuntu (at least not
  in Karmic or Jaunty).   Normally, one should be able to add interface
  scripts for SysV queues with something like:

  lpadmin -p myprinter -E -i /path/to/my/interface/script -v
  parallel:/dev/lp

  However, this fails with "lpadmin: Unable to copy interface script -
  No such file or directory!".  An strace on the process reveals that
  "No such file or directory" in fact refers to the attempt to copy the
  interface script into /etc/cups/interfaces.

  If I create /etc/cups/interfaces (which exists on every other platform
  using CUPS), then the lpadmin command succeeds.

  /etc/cups/interfaces should be created by default when cups is
  installed.
