And here it the output of printconf-tui -Xexport
# printconf-tui --Xexport
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<adm_context VERSION="0">
<id NAME="local" SERIAL="1">
<null/>
<null/>
</id>
<datatree>
<printconf TYPE="LIST">
<print_queues TYPE="LIST">
</print_queues>
<sharing_globals TYPE="LIST">
<browsing TYPE="BOOL" VALUE="TRUE"/>
</sharing_globals>
</printconf>
</datatree>
</adm_context>
This is definitely wrong.
