Description of problem: a remote orinter is not discovered on the network, by name or by IP Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.5.7-3 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open application 2. 3. Actual results: no shareable printer is shown in list, no printer is discovered also using IP Expected results: it should work just out-of-the box Additional info: fressh F22 installation, fully updated. Printer is automatically discovered by local computer . Printer is Samsung ML-1610..not even present in avahi-browse -a
sorry for the noise, but forgot to tick the Server ability to broadcast connected printers...that should be ticked by default - home users are not so smart :-)
I don't think printer sharing should be enabled by default, as it could lead to inadvertent information leakage.
