[cups.bugs] Re: [LOW] STR #1774: Add printer wizzard and auto-discoverred shows different list of printers

[Michael Sweet]

[STR Closed w/o Resolution]

Any printers with "Unknown" make and model strings are ignored on the main
administration page for a couple reasons. First, we have no way to
automatically select a driver. Second, some backends are either unable to
report the make and model, like the serial backend, or are placeholders
for particular drivers or backends.

Thus, the only printers that can be added automatically *are* reported,
and the rest (including URI schemes like "ipp" and "socket") can be
selected by clicking on Add Printer and doing all of the association
manually.
