Hi,
some older versions of cups had the feature that they showed
the remote printers, received by the browsing protocoll, in
/etc/printcap too.
Today /etc/printcap consists only local configured printers.
But some old unix(tm) applications still insist to print only
on printers offered by the printcap. :(
Can anyone tell me, how remote printers can be added to the
printcap (without configuring them on several hundrets machines :-).
I'm looking out for a helpful cupsd.conf option.
Can anyone tell me, what the reason for this change was?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Klaus.
