Bug#887495: cups-browsed: 'No destination host name supplied by cups-browsed for printer "name", is cups-browsed running?' for all queues
Hello,
I discovered the same problem on my computer today and found out that it
is NO coincidence that the problem occurs on the KDE desktop.
After several unsuccessful attempts of getting it to work under KDE by
stopping cups and cups-browsed, editing configuration files, deleting
all files from /var/cache/cups and starting daemons again, I read your
post, then logged out of KDE, re-logged in with MATE, did the same as
before, except from editing configuration, and then, printing was
successful. I logged out from MATE, re-logged in under KDE and then,
printing did also work with KDE. Another daemon restart after deleting
cache files, error occurred again. Logged out, in again with KDE,
printing worked.
Beside the fact that printing worked immediately with another desktop
environment, but only with problems in KDE, I noticed another
difference: In MATE, files
/var/cache/cups/cups-browsed-options-´<printer> were created soon after
the printer information broadcast messages had been received, while in
KDE these files were created not before cups-browsed was stopped.
Regards
Christoph
