Dear all
We're migrating some desktop hosts from Ubuntu 16.04 to 20.04 and
realized that the printer names changed on Ubuntu 20.04. We use a
central CUPS printserver and all clients connects to them.
Printserver is `print2` (still Ubuntu 16.04), local printer names are
k34, k40, k49color and so on.
CUPS client on Ubuntu 16.04 shows (ok): k34, k40, k49color
CUPS client on Ubuntu 20.04 shows (bad):
K34_HP_LJ_P3015_print2
K40_HP_LJ_P3015_print2
K49_HP_OfficeJet_Pro_X451dw_Color_print2
Any hint on how to remove the printer type and print server name from
the printer name on the CUPS client?
On Ubuntu 16.04: CUPS Version v2.1.3
On Ubuntu 20.04: CUPS Version v2.3.1
Any hints are appreciated.
Thanks
Carsten
