Description Orion Poplawski 2006-03-30 20:46:19 UTC
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

Comment 1 Orion Poplawski 2006-03-30 20:52:09 UTC
Update:

I needed to set:

BrowseAddress 192.168.0.255

to get outgoing to work.  Not sure why @LOCAL didn't work.

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2006-06-20 13:36:39 UTC
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.
