Bug#946198: Since upgrading to 1.25.13 no remote printer is made available anymore

[Michael Meskes <meskes@debian.org>]

> Which printers list? An application dialog?

Oops, sorry, I was referring to the printers tab on localhost:631. In
the add printer dialog on the administration tab they are still listed.
All application dialogs do not list the printers anymore either.

> The outputs of 'lpstat -a' and 'lpstat -l -e', please. Activating

'lpstat -a' does not list any of the printers, 'lpstat -l -e' lists
them all.

Fri Dec  6 11:00:58 2019 Removing entry B...
(ipps://host.local:631/printers/B...) and its CUPS queue.
Fri Dec  6 11:00:58 2019 Recording printer options for B... to
/var/cache/cups/cups-browsed-options-B...
Fri Dec  6 11:00:58 2019 Unable to get PPD file for B...: The printer
or class does not exist.
Fri Dec  6 11:00:58 2019 Unable to load PPD from local queue B...,
queue seems to be raw.

printer or class does not exist.

I guess that explains why the printer is no longer active, but what
changed from the prior version of cups-browsed? I just verified again,
downgrading cups-browsed from 1.25.13-1 to 1.25.12-1 fixes the problem
and makes the printers appear again. And, yes, I can print on any of
them without an issue. Or in other words, the system does have a PPD
for the printer.

Any idea?
