The remote printers should not be shared by default

[Patrice Vetsel]

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

I think that when we add remote printers (samba/ipp/others), the share options in comportments should be de-activated by default (activated by default-for all printers added). By default, user re-share an already shared printer.

Specially if user use auto show of shared printers in the network.

I'm not sure I quite understand the change you suggest, or the reason for it. Can you explain it a little more?

[Patrice Vetsel (vetsel-patrice)]

Computer A share an epson printer
Computer B have selected to automatically share printer and detect printers shared, so it see epson printer AND share it AGAIN
Computer C have selected to automatically detect shared printer, s-c-p show twice the same epson printer
etc.

So i recommend when adding a non local printer, to do not share it by default as it's already shared.

[Tim Waugh (twaugh)]

No, automatically detected shared printers are not advertised in browse packets by CUPS.

Perhaps Computer B has an explicit queue set up for the Epson on Computer A? (If so: why?)

[Patrice Vetsel (vetsel-patrice)]

Yes indeed. I made mistake on my explanations

A (windows) share epson by samba
B (ubuntu) add epson by samba and re-share it by default by ipp (if it have option to share printers)
C (ubuntu) see epson en B (because it have detection of ipp shared printers)

By default B should not share epson
