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?
