Bug#795063: cups: Printers are deleted in printers.conf frequently
Package: cups
Version: 2.0.3-10
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
my printers.conf is changed frequently without intervention so that nearly all
network printers are deleted after a short time.
The printers are installed manually because the Kyocera printers do not show up
in the list of availabe printers.
Purging Cups, switching off browsing in cupds.conf or deinstalling cups-browsed
do not solve this problem.
To prevent Cups from deleting printers I had set printers.conf to immutable
(chattr +i /etc/cups/printers.conf).
