The problem is in the printing dialogs of the desktops. It is no big deal to ask CUPS whether a printer is enabled or disabled. Print dialogs could check this and mark the printers in the print queue choice menu appropriately.
Note that system-config-printer already marks printer as disabled and/or not accepting jobs. ** Package changed: ubuntu => gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) ** Also affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794507 Title: the user can hardly notice if a printer is offline [UI bug] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/794507/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
