Hello Axel; thank you for your report. Please send a copy of your
cups-browsed.conf and the output of 'lpstat -t'.

Is there a pattern to this? After 10 minutes, an hour, 24 hours?
Which printers are not deleted?

What do you mean by "installed manually"?

The four networked printers all have the "Option cups-browsed true". As
far as I understand it, this indicates that the queue was established by
cups-browsed. But the URIs are socket://... so this would indicate that
browsed was not involved with setting up this queue. How did "Option
cups-browsed true" get into printers.conf?

Brian.
