@Till Thanks! This is a great explanation. I am sure that it took you some time to write it in this clear way and I would like to let you know that I really appreciate it. Things look a bit clearer to me right now.
I am looking forward to seeing method (4) materialize as the current situation seems rather unsatisfactory to me. In fact, I think that when there was only (1) without (2) and (3) the situation was much better than it is right now, since you had a clear single place where to enable and disable things and consistent number and naming of printers across all dialogs. Particularly (3), with the dialogs grabbing the DNS-SD broadcasts, seems a rather poor choice leading to all sorts of inconsistencies among the different dialogs. Would it make sense to suggest that (3) is disabled in ubuntu's QT and GTK since we have cups-browsed anyway that is better (as it provides indication of the printer type)? Do you know if there is any way to disable (2) from some cups option? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738432 Title: Regression, poor user experience, print dialogs garbled by unidentifiable driverless printers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1738432/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
