That and only that one, after install. For snmp discovery of printers with different community names, manual editing of /etc/cups/snmp.conf is required. So, SNMP backend will not detect all SNMP-capable printers on network. This is unlike IPP backend which reports all correctly configured printers/printer servers. Martin I can confirm that snmp backend works with printers that are in "public" community, so it's up to you (or higher instances) to decide will snmp work out of the box or not. Walter, could you test if SNMP printers are detected even if Browsing is Off (I can't ATM)? If this is true and we add snmp backend to default backends, then we would have out of the box SNMP discovery, but not IPP? Martin, what do you think about that? Doesn't sound reasonable to me :) -- the snmp backend should be installed in /usr/lib/cups/backend https://launchpad.net/bugs/54259 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
