My discovery back end gives location information for the printers it discovers. When I add a printer through the web interface (assuming it works fast enough that bug 996664 doesn't bite me), the location is empty. You can reproduce this with a backend script like the one in bug 996661: #!/bin/sh cat <<EOF socket socket://127.0.0.1:9100 "foo1" "bar1" "MDL:HP LaserJet M5035 MFP" "left" socket socket://127.0.0.2:9100 "foo2" "bar2" "MDL:HP LaserJet M5035 MFP" "right" EOF When you add one of these 'discovered' printers, the word 'left' or 'right' ought to end up in the Location box. But it doesn't.
