1 if Shared is unchecked, printer is visible in cups webgui; it does not list in system-config-printer and print dialogs. if printer is added using system-config-printer with Shared unchecked, it will "disappear" after Apply/Save. 2 network/remote printer with raw queue, cups will always force Shared unchecked; said printer disappear from the list. 3 network/remote printer with specified printer driver (rather than raw queue), Shared can be checked; said printer appear on the list, however, print jobs will result in "filter failure" due to double conversion? suggestion is to use raw queue (see point 2) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1441423 Title: printers not listed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/1441423/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
