[Bug 1441423] Re: printers not listed

 

Do you have a ~/.cups/client.conf file? If so, please attach it to this
bug report.

none

==========

Is system-config-printer showing the local print queues (communicating
with the local CUPS daemon)? system-config-prnter can be configured to
manage a remote CUPS daemon.

system-config-printer
server settings
checked = Publish shared printers
checked = Allow printing from the Internet
checked = Allow remote Administration
checked = Allow users to cancel any job
checked = Save debugging information
Selected = Preserve job history but not files

Menu/Server/Connect
Cups Server = localhost (the drop-down list only show "localhost")

no local printer (ie. no printer attached to this pc)

Brother_MFC-8380DN is a stand-alone network printer

==================

Is your web interface displaying your local CUPS setup (URL:
http://localhost:631/...)? You can easily end up in a remote machine's
CUPS web interface by clicking on a remote CUPS printer.

yes, it's  http://localhost:631/

====================

Do you have machines running CUPS 1.5.x or older in your network? If
not, you do not need to make cups-browsed to do legacy CUPS
broadcasting. It is enough to keep only the line "BrowseRemoteProtocols
dnssd cups" as non-comment line in /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf.

yes, we have cups 1.5.3/ubuntu 12.04



could it be some thing like an access or rights issue? when the Shared
in Properties/Policies/State is unchecked, the printer disappear from
the list.
