[Bug 1441423] Re: printers not listed

 

i spoke too soon.

i got a pc working somehow, on a laptop, i did the same setup and conf
and nothing works.

1
if Shared is unchecked, printer is visible in cups webgui; it does not list in system-config-printer and print dialogs.

if printer is added using system-config-printer with Shared unchecked,
it will "disappear" after Apply/Save.

2
network/remote printer with raw queue, cups will always force Shared unchecked; said printer disappear from the list.

3
network/remote printer with specified printer driver (rather than raw queue), Shared can be checked; said printer appear on the list, however, print jobs will result in "filter failure" due to double conversion? suggestion is to use raw queue (see point 2)
