Title:
GNOME Printer Setup Tool: List of discovered printers should better
describe duplicate entries
Status in GNOME Control Center:
Fix Released
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “unity-control-center” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
When adding a printer a list of discovered printers is shown. If there
are duplicate entries, for example if the same network printer is
discovered with different network protocols (LPD, IPP, ...), these
entries are usually grouped into one by using the D-Bus service of
system-config-printer. system-config-printer groups entries coming
from the network connection of the printer and groups entries coming
from the USB connection of the printer, but it does not group network
results with USB results, as system-config-printer separates them by a
tree view. This means that when one connects one printer by both
network and USB one gets two entries, one generated from all
appearances under the discovered network printers and one from all
appearances under the discovered USB printers (and if theis printer
does Bluetooth there would be a third entry). Now the g-c-c printer
tool lists these entries as
<model name>
<model name>-2
This way the user does not know which is the network printer and which
is the USB printer. The results dhould look like
<model name> (USB)
<model name> (Network)
To reproduce connect a printer with both network and USB (or
Bluetooth) input by both network and USB, then try to set it up with
the preferred connection type.
