I have two pcs both attached to a BT router. pc1 is my main box and dual boots 42.2 and Linux Mint 18.1. That one is a Shuttle, about 5 years old but still fully functional. pc2 is an older tower probably about 12 years old but again functional. I use it as a back up machine and because its the most convenient place to put the printer. HP Deskjet 2300 I'd guess about 15 years old but still works fine. It just prints, no scanner or other things and I don't need a wireless printer. In other words its not broken and I like HP's Linux support. That pc has been running 13.2. The procedure you describe works fine in 13.2 but does not work in 42.2. I can set up the printer to print from there but setting up sharing in Yest fails and as I said running the Cups interlace at http://localhost:631/ I cannot change the settings as I cannot get the box that asks for root privilege to change the settings. If I install Linux Mint on that box I can do that but I don't want to dual boot that box or switch it exclusively to Linux Mint. I hope that helps. M On 30/01/17 11:20, Per Jessen wrote:

My HP D2300 usb printer has worked for many years. It is attached to one of my two pcs and shared between the two. This worked fine up to 13.2 but I cannot get 42.2 to share the printer.
Share out or share in?
Sharing fails in Yast whereas it worked up to 13.2,
On my Leap422 test clients, I have to go into Yast->Printers and enable the network listening. After that it works - the client then runs a cups-browsed daemon.
Is there a known fix for this ?
I think we'll need some more info about your setup - where is the printer attached etc.
