Bug#946198: Since upgrading to 1.25.13 no remote printer is made available anymore
I've not seen either of my remote printers disappear, but am now getting "The PPD file for this printer is damaged" whenever I double-click on the printer in the print settings gui. I downgraded cups-browsed to cups-browsed_1.25.12-1_amd64.deb but also get the error, so suspect its the filter or something that's gone wrong. In /var/log/cups/error.log I get a lot of: E [11/Dec/2019:22:05:53 +] [CGI] Saw EOF, expected \'}\'! Which seem to point to bug #737709 I can still print fine to remote printers though (debian and raspbian servers) and the cups web interface doesn't show any errors. Regards. -- Simon John

The first command outputs local print queues; cups-browsed should form these from what CUPS tells it with, essentially, the second command. It obviously isn't doing that. BTW, printing should still be available to you with 'lp -d...'. Also, if you stop cups-browsed, the dialogs of LibreOffice and Qt apps (and maybe GTK apps) should list printers and print queues. > > in cups-browsed.conf and taking a look at a log wouldn't be a bad > > idea. > > Fri Dec 6 11:00:58 2019 Removing entry B... > (ipps://host.local:631/printers/B...) and its CUPS queue. > Fri Dec 6 11:00:58 2019 Recording printer options for B... to > /var/cache/cups/cups-browsed-options-B... > Fri Dec 6 11:00:58 2019 Unable to get PPD file for B...: The printer > or class does not exist. > Fri Dec 6 11:00:58 2019 Unable to load PPD from local queue B..., > queue seems to be raw. > Fri Dec 6 11:00:58 2019 ERROR: Failed disabling printer 'B...': The > printer or class does not exist. > > I guess that explains why the printer is no longer active, but what > changed from the prior version of cups-browsed?

In the past I have stopped cups and cups-browsed and removed the files in /var/cache/cups, checked that there aren't any files in /etc/cups/ppd and that /etc/cups/printers.conf is empty, then restarted the cups and cups-browsed services. If you do not get anywhere, please report it upstream at https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues perhaps after reading https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-filters/issues/124 Regards, Brian.

I guess that explains why the printer is no longer active, but what changed from the prior version of cups-browsed? I just verified again, downgrading cups-browsed from 1.25.13-1 to 1.25.12-1 fixes the problem and makes the printers appear again. And, yes, I can print on any of them without an issue. Or in other words, the system does have a PPD for the printer. Any idea?

Activating logging in cups-browsed.conf and taking a look at a log wouldn't be a bad idea. Regards, Brian.

Package: cups-browsed Version: 1.25.13-1 Severity: serious Since upgrading the package all remote printers are gone from my printers list. Downgrading to the latest version brings them all back. I made this bug serious in case the problem is a general one. If not, feel free to downgrade. Upgrading the package and losing the ability to print in the process is an unpleasant surprise, though.
