Me to: "I miss a switch in the printer settings to disable automatic detection and adding."
I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.2 and under http://localhost:631/printers/ there are only the printers I actually installed manually. In gnome-settings all printers in the network are constantly added and it is impossible to remove them. This is pretty annoying. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1765390 Title: printer settings: add switch for disable autodetect and add Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: First and most important problem: I miss a switch in the printer settings to disable automatic detection and adding. I have problems on the VM in the company, because after system startup masses of printer messages appear and annoy me. I also have the problem that I am no longer able to find the printer I would need in the whole series of other unwanted printers. It would be easier if I only had to use the default printer, but unfortunately this is not the case. Another problem is adding a printer: It is easy to obtain the IP address of the printer. In the Add dialog there is a text in the search bar that says that I could insert an IP address. But that doesn't work. I need to go to "additional printer settings". Here I can add an IP address, but it must be an address starting with "ipp://"? Why do I have to do this? IP address is IP address, The program should find the protocol that it needs itself! Then I have to choose HPLIB and two AppSocket. For a printer that wasn't supported, I first had to enter the printer details and scroll through a shitty long list of printers and research that a Cannon iR is a Cannon Image Runner. In the end I had to download a ppd file from canon. (This was an adventure of its own, which has nothing to do with Linux). Now I have a printer that works and has been renamed with special text to get it to the top of the big list of unwanted printers in the system.
