Bug#1006853: cups-browsed: HTTP Forbidden when adding printer with cups-browsed
Package: cups-browsed
Version: 1.28.12-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: mark.brandis@posteo.de
I use a Epson XP 8600 printer, which cups found just fine and added
automatically as a printer queue, until recently. For a few days now, cups has
not added the printer as a queue, unless the printer was online during boot.
Searching in the logs I found the following:
/var/log/cups# tail -n 5 access_log error_log

I removed all cups packages and remove /etc/cups and installed the cups and
cups-browsed again. This didn't fix the problem.
So in my humble opinion, this is a bug since the adding of a printer should
work with a vanilla installation of cups-browsed and it worked before.
