[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#504086: cups showing duplicate printer instances after recent update

[gradgrind at online.de]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.8-1lenny2


After a recent update cups shows duplicate entries for the (remote) printers, for example:


----------------------------------------------------------------- 

ljet4 (Default Printer)
	Description: Laserjet 4m
Location: Location Unknown
Printer Driver: {printer_make_and_model}
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, not published.
Device URI: file:/dev/null

...

ljet4 at syncserv
	Description: Laserjet 4m
Location: Location Unknown
Printer Driver: HP LaserJet 4l Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.6 on syncserv.waldorfschule-bothfeld.lan
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, not published.
Device URI: ipp://syncserv.waldorfschule-bothfeld.lan:631/printers/ljet4
----------------------------------------------------------------- 


Older installations on the net show just:

----------------------------------------------------------------- 
ljet4
	Description: Laserjet 4m
Location: Location Unknown
Printer Driver: HP LaserJet 4l Foomatic/hpijs, hpijs 2.8.6 on syncserv.waldorfschule-bothfeld.lan
Printer State: idle, accepting jobs, not published.
Device URI: ipp://syncserv.waldorfschule-bothfeld.lan:631/printers/ljet4
----------------------------------------------------------------- 

This problem also exists with Archlinux running cups-1.3.9, so it is probably a new upstream feature/bug. 



System is current lenny.
