At the moment to print I start a Windows VM (Windows inside the VM sees and installs the printer without problem) and connect to the shared printer with cups. I've had some strange problems occasionally when I upgrade cups, and often the problems have been fixed by deleting/reinstalling the printers using the cups html interface (on localhost:631).

Huettel dilfri...@gentoo.org Posted 2013-06-30 Revision 1 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. Seems to me that you could try as root: /etc/init.d/cups-browsed start Urs
Re: [gentoo-user] Re: usb printer disappears on cups upgrade
I'll give it a try tomorrow (getting late here) but this is a local usb connected printer and I thought browse is used to allow cups to find or offer printers to other hosts across the network.
