Has CUPS Printer Discovery Changed?

Asked by cmnorton

I have an application -- a terminal emulator -- that uses cups printer display. In 6.06, this worked; in 7.04 it does not. I am trying to debug everything but the application, whose source code I do not have, to see what has changed and what if anything could be re-configured or altered. This application has a "setup printers" tab, and in that tab, I could select the printer to use for that terminal emulator session.

All other gnome applications' use of printer display for selection works. From what I can gather, this is a debian-specific problem.

My question is what if anything has changed and what if anything could be configured to get around this problem?

Thanks.

I changed /etc/cups/cupsd.conf

#
# Printcap: the name of the printcap file. Default is /etc/printcap.
# Leave blank to disable printcap file generation.
#

#Printcap /var/run/cups/printcap
Printcap /etc/printcap

My application found the printers.
