Public bug reported: With my laptop, I often move in different buildings in my university, connecting to various local networks. Everytime I do so, a number of remote printers appear in CUPS, which is good.
The problem is: once I move to a different network, those remote printers do *not* disappear, despite the fact that they are no longer accessible. Not only does this clutter the printer list with a hige list of useless printers, but it also makes the system very slow as it tries to connect to those printers to get stats (or so I suppose). And for the same reason, it is very hard to manually remove said printers (because as soon as I select them, the system gets stuck in trying to contact them). As a workaround, I found that manually restarting the cups-browsed service cleans the list. Would it be possible to hook a reload of cups- browsed everytime I connect to a new network? ** Affects: cups-filters (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/1275648 Title: Remote printers do not disappear when they are no longer available To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-filters/+bug/1275648/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
