Hi.

I recently received some 631/udp packets that were being broadcast to
255.255.255.255.  Those are apparently produced by the Common UNIX
Printing System (CUPS).  CUPS implements the Internet Printing
Protocol (IPP) which is typically found on 631/tcp and is already
supported by Ethereal.  CUPS adds a protocol of its own on 631/udp:
the CUPS Browsing Protocol.

I wrote a packet-cups.c file to support this protocol.  It is
available at

	http://www.larim.polymtl.ca/~chuck/ethereal/packet-cups.c

To use it, do not forget to apply this little patch:

To do:

	-- Register all the 1-bit fields in cups.ptype as
	cups.ptype.FOO so that they too can be used in searching and
	filtering.
