Bug Description
Hi
When browsing is enabled in cups, then the local cupsd reexports the printers found on the network. But not all requests to a printer are proxied by the local cupsd - the download of ppd files is an exception.
libgnomecups, however, tries to download the ppd file from the local cupsd, which fails, and then assumes that there is no ppd file, therefore presenting no options for the printer.
I patches libgnomecups by adding _gnome_
_gnome_

Arg. After posting this I found the "other" bugreport for this problem. But since my report included a way to fix it, I marked the other one as a duplicate of mine, altough he was first.
So, #50916 is now marked as a duplicate for this report.
