I really believe that it's only a problem with CUPS. All problems disappear
when all CUPS have "browsing" turned of, not depending on M$ settings and
behaviour... It's really really simple to be solved, and many of us (on the
Cooker list) already talked about it since 7.2 but it seems that there's a
very deep reason why browsing must be turned on by default. I'd like to
understand that reason and I would not blame anymore, I promise. Can someone
please explain? Maybe Till K. that as I can see is the "supervisor" for the
printer-related rpms?
I really love CUPS, but it's hard to administrate a big network if you always
lose the server's control.
Goodnight, Claudio
