Hi,
trying to get a new printer running on two different Fedora 33 laptops, noted a strange thing:
I’ve got a single printer in /etc/cups/printers.conf (see below). In my opinion, the setup matches the
recommendations from the
Brother Support Site,
so I’d expect that to work. (Except, it doesn’t, but that’s another story.)
If I visit the Cups Administration UI (http://localhost:631), I see exactly one printer, which is as expected. But, if I visit
- the printers page in the Gnome control center
- system-config-printers
- the “Print” menu in Firefox, or LibreOffice,
then I find another printer. If I remove that printer, then it simply gets readded. Why is that? Is there another source of Printers (apart from Cups)?
Thanks,
Jochen
