Hi Tim,
In the fleet CUPS web management page, the helix queues are listed as:
[email protected]
[email protected]
etc.
Is this in the Queue Name column of http://...:631/printers/ ?
That's right. but it is the actual queue name (so similarly for lpq -P
[email protected] etc).
Doing some more investigation into
HostNameLookups On
in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf (this line was not present on either machine)
Setting HostNameLookups On on both machines gives
printer1@helix
At some point the default setting of this must have changed in cups, as
I haven't modified cupsd.conf for a couple of years.
While experimenting (enabling this on one machine or another but not
both), I got some really strange effects, sometimes getting a single
remote printer listed multiple time in variations of
[email protected]
printer1@helix
[email protected]
I was thrown a bit in that something is caching the cups web page, so
making a change to cupsd.conf can take around 10 minutes to have an
effect (it seemed logical that it should only be necessary on the local
machine).
Now I know this, I still need to fully explore the effects of
BrowseShortNames No
in various permutations on each machine!
Cheers
Tim
