Public bug reported:
Automagically gathering all available zeroconf/avahi/whatever-its-
called-this-week printers and presenting them as configured printers
renders the print subsystem almost entirely unusable on a large network
(>30k hosts on a LAN in this case).
Offering them when I want to add a printer is passable, but presenting
them as configured printers by default is ridiculous. It appears I have
to remove them one-by-one (ain't gonna happen), and it's not even clear
that that will be in any way permanent.
We're not all on nice cosy little home networks.
At least make it optional, please.
