Public bug reported: On current LTS (Precise) CUPS does not see printers advertised from CUPS 1.6 systems. Yes, I understand that the whole CUPS browse feature went away in CUPS 1.6, but that means that current LTS has a functionality hole/regression where CUPS 1.6 servers are concerned.
Fedora has dealt with this for example by supplying cups-browsed. Ubuntu, current-LTS should do the same or similar. LTS systems should not be broken simply because other machines it used to get printers from upgraded to CUPS 1.6. ** Affects: cups (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1268597 Title: doesn't see printers from 1.6 servers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1268597/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
