Comment 18 for bug 1753509

This is a problem when running a set of desktops with a traditional CUPS server that advertises its printers. The desktops should see only the server queues but by default they get duplicated (or even multiplicated entries) because the printers also advertise themselves.

The setting suggested by Till on cups-browsed.conf

CreateIPPPrinterQueues No

does not seem to have any effect. The undesired printers remain visible and listable with

lpstat -e

Applications like Libreoffice and oKular will show a list of redundant printers, which is, of course, confusing.
