See below, I'm grateful for any improvements. As there is a pending security bug, I'd like to commit this news item on Sunday 2013/6/30 12:00 UTC and immediately afterwards request cups-1.6 stabilization.
-- Title: Printer browsing in net-print/cups-1.6 Author: Andreas K. Huettel <dilfri...@gentoo.org> Content-Type: text/plain Posted: 2013-06-29 Revision: 1 News-Item-Format: 1.0 Display-If-Installed: <=net-print/cups-1.6.2-r5 net-print/cups-1.6 no longer supports automatic remote printers or implicit classes via the CUPS, LDAP, or SLP protocols, i.e. "network browsing". The browsing functionality can be restored by running cups-browsed from net-print/cups-filters as a separate daemon (just add its init script to your default runlevel). By default cups-browsed uses the net-print/cups-1.5 browse protocol, but it can also utilize zeroconf (if the zeroconf use flag is set). See /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf for configuration. Of course, directly specifying the location of your printers in the cups interface works as well. -- Andreas K. Huettel Gentoo Linux developer dilfri...@gentoo.org http://www.akhuettel.de/
