Title:
Cannot list 2nd printer with same model
Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
When I click on the Add button in system-config-printer to add a
printer, the next dialog box comes up with a list of detected printers
within a short time, but it does not find two printers, if they exist,
with exactly the same model number. I opened a terminal to see if
lsusb would list them and it did! The only difference between the
listings in lsusb was the "Device ID". Evidently the code that is
supposed to list all of the USB printers in this dialog box looks for
unique model numbers, but not unique device id's. This makes it
impossible to add two Zebra LP2844 printers to the same PC on two
separate USB ports. I also tried to enable "localhost:631" to try
adding a printer or two that way, but this was also impossible using
LinuxMint 17.3, because the cupsd.conf file has been significantly re-
designed and there's no more easy way to re-enable this feature.
Can't wait until this problem is fixed.
