Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
Given:
A workstation running Intrepid
A server running Intrepid, with 4 shared printers.
The workstation is showing all printers shared from the server twice.
The first time the name shown in e.g. system-config-printers is just the
name of the printer (e.g. "Lexmark"), but the printer's device file is
"file:/dev/null".
The second printer shows the fully qualified name of the printer (e.g.
"lexm...@server.example.com") with the correct device node (e.g.
"ipp://server.example.com:631/printers/Lexmark").
Printing to the first device (which, BTW, is the one that seems to
always be selected) doesn't work (indeed, the job hangs forever until
canceled).
Printing to the second device works.
These printers are NOT in the workstation's local configuration files.
