Re: CUPS - how to match autodetected printers to physical ones

[didier gaumet <didier.gaumet@gmail.com>]

Hello Greg,

Perhaps, try: 

GUI:

avahi-discover from the avahi-discover package presents a network tree:
you can find the IP adresses of the printers

CLI:

# avahi-browse -r _print-caps._tcp
(from the avahi-utils package) 
In my case it's sufficient to detect my network printer but I do not
know well avahi service types (here: _print-caps._tcp, seems to be
printer capabilities at the TCP level)
if you do not find your printers try a more general search:
# avahi-browse -avr
and explore the results
