Description Oliver Ilian 2014-11-24 16:38:28 UTC

Description of problem:
When polling cups printers form a cups server and Printers containing "_" in the name, the client shows the printers with "-" instead. This makes the Print Queue not available any longer.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cups-1.6.3-14.el7

How reproducible:
Every time you poll for a Printer with "_" in the Name

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set the BrowsePoll in /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf to a server containing Printers with "_" in the name
2. systemctl restart cups-browsed.service

Actual results:
Printers are shown with "-" in the name

Expected results:
Printers should appear with "_" in the Name as shown on the cups server

Additional info:

Comment 2 Oliver Ilian 2014-11-24 17:30:12 UTC

Workaround: in /etc/cups/client.conf add: ServerName <servername>

but it should work to just put it in cups-browsed.conf
