[opensuse] cups printer shared through broadcast problem
Hello. I experience this problem for a year or so. e.g. server 192.168.1.2 shares a printer called Inkjet through broadcast, all clients, Mac OS, Ubuntu and OpenSUSE automatically add this printer when cups on these hosts started. After several weeks, Linux clients (not Mac OS) start to have two printers, one "Inkjet" as usual and another additional "Inkjet@192.168.1.2". The former doesn't work, the latter works. To solve this problem on the Ubuntu client I had to stop its cups service and as root remove /var/cache/cups/remote.cache and re-start cups. Then it should now have only one printer "Inkjet" which is working. For OpenSUSE 11 I don't know how to solve it because there isn't /var/cache/cups/remote.cache. Question: 1) how do I fix opensuse clients? 2) is there a way to solve this problem completely, e.g. after weeks there should be no additional "Inkjet@192.168.1.2" and the old setting should work. 3) what keyword to google for answer to 2? I couldn't figure it myself. Thanks in advance Best regards Zhang Weiwu -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

For OpenSUSE 11 I don't know how to solve it because there isn't /var/cache/cups/remote.cache.
In older openSUSE versions it was also /var/cache/cups/remote.cache bit it has somehow moved to /etc/cups/yes/remote.cache (At very first glance the strange name "yes" seems to be a somehow broken fallback value for CacheDir and/or CUPS_CACHEDIR.)
2) is there a way to solve this problem completely, e.g. after weeks there should be no additional "Inkjet@192.168.1.2" and the old setting should work.
Unfortunately I have currently no idea what the root cause is.
