From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I've turned off the browsing support in the cupsd.conf file and Cups is still populating /etc/printcap with a bunch of networked printers. This is annoying because samba then shows all the printers when you go to \\hostname\ from a windows machine. I'm on a campus network that easily has 50-60 shared printers, so it's a pretty hefty list to sort through just to find a share. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cups-1.1.23-15 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start cups 2. browse to \\hostname\ 3. Actual Results: Many networked printers shown even though browsing has been turned off Expected Results: No printers should have been listed Additional info:
