I interpret this as being a reference to the (IIRC) mDNS-based system by which CUPS detects that printers are present on the network. > What does being "precious" involve? I'm less certain about this, but my guess is that it means that CUPS insists on having these detected printers listed as available, rather than permitting them to be deleted from the list of available printers and having them remain that way. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
