RFE: Better browsing configuration options
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:29 EST
I want to be able to configure outgoing browsing only, e.g.: Browsing On BrowseAddress @LOCAL (needed to send) BrowseOrder Deny,Allow BrowseDeny All Now, I would have exptected something like to the above to have been enabled when I enable sharing for a individual printer, as how else am I going to share it without sending browsing information? Also, the current general browsing option is misleadingly named: "Automatically find remote shared queues" as this is currently needed to enable outgoing browse information as well, but it sounds only like incoming. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-printer-0.6.151.2-1
Update: I needed to set: BrowseAddress 192.168.0.255 to get outgoing to work. Not sure why @LOCAL didn't work.
Oh, yes, the logic is slightly screwy there. It isn't meant to work that way. The idea was that if any queue was shared, a 'BrowseAddress' line would be written out. The 'Automatically find remote shared queues' option is overriding that logic by mistake. In Fedora Core 6 this will be done using a method very similar to the CUPS web interface, and so this sort of problem should be fixed there.
