Bug#504086: cups showing duplicate printer instances after recent update
Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-1lenny2
After a recent update cups shows duplicate entries for the (remote) printers, for example:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ljet4 (Default Printer)
Description: Laserjet 4m
Location: Location Unknown
Printer Driver: {printer_make_and_model}
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, not published.
Device URI: file:/dev/null
...
ljet4@syncserv
Description: Laserjet 4m
Location: Location Unknown
Printer Driver: HP LaserJet 4l Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.6 on syncserv.waldorfschule-bothfeld.lan
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, not published.
Device URI: ipp://syncserv.waldorfschule-bothfeld.lan:631/printers/ljet4
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Older installations on the net show just:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ljet4
Description: Laserjet 4m
Location: Location Unknown
Printer Driver: HP LaserJet 4l Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.6 on syncserv.waldorfschule-bothfeld.lan
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, not published.
Device URI: ipp://syncserv.waldorfschule-bothfeld.lan:631/printers/ljet4
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This problem also exists with Archlinux running cups-1.3.9, so it is probably a new upstream feature/bug.
System is current lenny.
