This bug surely does not belong to "cups-filters" package. And probably it does not belong to Avahi. And to CUPS either. This bug does belong to GTK library and GTK apps which do not provide an option like "list only local CUPS printers, not everything Avahi has sniffed on the network".
Avahi is right in its actions, and there are other software relying on its "enable-dbus" option. GTK as library is wrong in having this option enabled by default, and probably some of GTK apps have now learned to override this option properly (that is, in usable and understandable way for an end user). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups-filters in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1753509 Title: avahi-daemon adds/installs every printer on network Status in cups-filters package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: When connected to a network, avahi-daemon adds & installs all printer on a network without being prompted.
