Public bug reported:
When adding a printer a list of discovered printers is shown. If there
are duplicate entries, for example if the same network printer is
discovered with different network protocols (LPD, IPP, ...), these
entries are usually grouped into one by using the D-Bus service of
system-config-printer. system-config-printer groups entries coming from
the network connection of the printer and groups entries coming from the
USB connection of the printer, but it does not group network results
with USB results, as system-config-printer separates them by a tree
view. This means that when one connects one printer by both network and
USB one gets two entries, one generated from all appearances under the
discovered network printers and one from all appearances under the
discovered USB printers (and if theis printer does Bluetooth there would
be a third entry). Now the g-c-c printer tool lists these entries as
<model name>
<model name>-2
This way the user does not know which is the network printer and which
is the USB printer. The results dhould look like
<model name> (USB)
<model name> (Network)
To reproduce connect a printer with both network and USB (or Bluetooth)
input by both network and USB, then try to set it up with the preferred
connection type.
