@CarlosRenê: As described above, there exists a patch for gtk. I described this
in my answer on askubuntu: https://askubuntu.com/a/1544292 .
In short:
Create the patch print_dialog_without_avahi_discovered_printers.patch :
--- a/modules/printbackends/cups/gtkprintbackendcups.c
+++ b/modules/printbackends/cups/gtkprintbackendcups.c
@@ -4008,7 +4008,7 @@
g_source_set_name_by_id (cups_backend->list_printers_poll, "[gtk+]
cups_request_printer_list");
}
- avahi_request_printer_list (cups_backend);
+ // Do NOT add random network printers! avahi_request_printer_list
(cups_backend);
}
}
And reinstall gtk:
sudo apt build-dep libgtk-3-dev
apt source libgtk-3-dev
cd $(find gtk* -maxdepth 0 -type d)
git apply --reject --whitespace=fix
../print_dialog_without_avahi_discovered_printers.patch
debuild -b -us -uc --no-pre-clean
cd ..
sudo apt install --reinstall ./libgtk-3-0_*.deb
# do not update (dist-upgrade)
# sudo apt-mark hold libgtk-3-0

avahi-daemon adds/installs every printer on network
Status in cups package in Ubuntu:
Triaged

When connected to a network, avahi-daemon adds & installs all printer

Discovery of the printers is good, but not automatic installation &
addition.
