Description of problem: On FC6 (fedora) - if defaultshared is not present in cupsd.conf it defaults to no, inspite of the documentation stating that it should be shared by default. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.2.12 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Are you using lpadmin to create queues, or some other method?
yes lpadmin is used to create the queues. If no shared parameter is specified, it should default to the parameter in cupsd.conf defaultshared=yes (even if that is not present in the cupsd.conf). It does not behave as described though unless either is explicitly stated. Please refer to the following url. http://www.cups.org/documentation.php/ref-cupsd-conf.html Examples DefaultShared yes DefaultShared no Description The DefaultShared directive specifies whether printers are shared (published) by default. The default is Yes.
Seems to work fine in Fedora 8: # grep -i defaultshared /etc/cups/cupsd.conf # lpadmin -p test -v /dev/null # lpoptions -p test finishings=3 copies=1 job-hold-until=no-hold job-priority=50 number-up=1 auth-info-required=none job-sheets=none,none printer-info=test printer-is-accepting-jobs=0 printer-is-shared=1 printer-location printer-make-and-model='Local Raw Printer' printer-state=5 printer-state-change-time=1199963652 printer-state-reasons=paused printer-type=524292 [root@cyberelk ~]# rpm -q cups cups-1.3.5-1.fc8 Note 'printer-is-shared=1' in the output. What do you get when you try those commands?
Yes its fine on FC6, I just realized that these configs were generated on FC2/cups-1.1.20-11.11.2.legacy and defaultshared was introduced in 1.2
