Jonathan Ernst (jonathan.ernst) wrote : Reimplement automatic appearing of remote CUPS queues brodcasted by DNS-SD/Bonjour

Since cups 1.6+, cups browsing protocol and automatic appearing of remote CUPS queues doesn't work anymore (LP: #1052897).

This is a serious regression because each user has to :

- manually add each queue of interest at every site (as printers don't appear automagically anymore)
- keep a big list of non existing printers when moving (as printers don't disappear automagically anymore)

The local cups server (or another daemon) should have a mean to automatically add discovered printers (like it does for USB printers for example).
