Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce:
1) Set up a remote CUPS printer relative to an up-to-date Dapper machine (in my case I used RAW and a queue via IPP); 2) make the CUPS host inaccessible for the client (e.g. via disconnecting it from the network, switching it off, etc.); 3) try to delete/remove the printer created under 1) from the gnome- cups-manager (System -> Administration -> Printing). Result: the printer cannot be deleted/removed. This is especially annoying on a laptop where numerous network printers have been added to gnome-cups-manager -- the corresponding entries cannot be removed later, while the laptop is disconnected from the networks. BTW, is there a way to clean up the printers appearing in gnome-cups- manager in such a situation? ** Affects: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- [Dapper] Unable to remove a network printer from the printer manager while its host can't be found https://launchpad.net/bugs/71251 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
