We have:

DefaultShared Yes

in cupsd.conf.

When adding a printer the "Share this printer" box is not checked, surely
it should be checked by default when DefaultShared Yes is specified in
cupsd.conf?

This is not a P4 bug...

The web interface currently exposes a per-platform default, which is more complicated than expressed by the DefaultShared directive.  The DefaultShared directive only expresses a default when whatever UI you have does not specify a preference when creating a new printer or class.

That said, I can understand how this could be confusing - moving to a feature request for CUPS 1.5...
