Description of problem: cups lists printers with server hostname device for col@dunnet: ipp://dunnet:631/printers/col where it should really be: device for col: ipp://dunnet:631/printers/col Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Seems to happen after initial install. Cannot reproduce later. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install cups with default config files 2. Start cups 3. lpstat -t Actual results: ... device for col@dunnet: ipp://dunnet:631/printers/col Expected results: ... device for col: ipp://dunnet:631/printers/col Additional info: Clearing cups cache and restarting will fix the problem: /etc/init.d/cups stop \rm -rf /var/cache/cups /etc/init.d/cups start We have 2 cups servers in our subnet, which may have some effect.
> We have 2 cups servers in our subnet, which may have some effect. This is expected behaviour then. http://localhost:631/help/ref-cupsd-conf.html#BrowseShortNames ==> The BrowseShortNames directive specifies whether or not short names are used for remote printers when possible. Short names are just the remote printer name, without the server ("printer"). If more than one remote printer is detected with the same name, the printers will have long names ("printer@server1", "printer@server2".) The default value for this option is Yes. <==
Not really. There is no overlap in printer names, the servers are in different departments. Once I've done the "fix" I can see both printer lists in their short format.
Can you get this to happen again? I haven't seen this here with two other CUPS servers running.
