[Bug 314408] Re: Please separate automatically discovered remote printers from locally configured printers
Specification updated. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Printing?action=diffrev2=23rev1=21 ** Package changed: gtk+3.0 (Ubuntu) = ubuntu ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: In Progress = Triaged ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) = (unassigned) ** Description changed: The main reason why Debian/Ubuntu does not enable automatic use of network printers broadcasted by remote CUPS servers by default is that there is no way to tell apart locally configured (and thus trusted) printers from those which got advertized by remote CUPS servers (and thus open the possibility of luring someone into printing confidential material onto a rogue network printer). E. g. I have a locally configured local_ps printer, and an ML-1610 configured on a remote server which appears through cups browsing detection. The print dialog currently looks like this: http://people.ubuntu.com/~pitti/screenshots/print_dialog_gtk.png the printers look exactly the same, I have no way to tell which ones can be considered trusted. It would be great to separate the locally configured from the remotely detected ones: |_| Print to file | - Locally configured printers: + Locally configured printers: |=| HP DeskJet 123| room 10 | |=| Samsung Foo Color | | Automatically detected remote printers: |=| ML-1610 | dagobert | Locally configured and automatically discovered remote printers can be told apart with the CUPS_PRINTER_DISCOVERED flag (see cups/cups.h). + + https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Printing#listing: whenever available printers + are listed, they should be listed in up to two sections: * Whenever at + least one manually configured printer is available, a section beginning + with an insensitive item, “Configured printers”. * Whenever at least one + broadcast printer is available, a section beginning with an insensitive + item, “Discovered printers”. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+3.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314408 Title: Please separate automatically discovered remote printers from locally configured printers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/314408/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Not a developer - just a regular user hoping that this bug will get fixed since it places a big roadblock in front of new users who do not know about: click Server, click Settings, click Show printers shared by other systems option. Glad to see its been moved to a papercut.

Attached the screenshot of the bug description, to keep it conserved for the case that it gets later removed from its original location. ** Attachment added: Screenshot of the bug description https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/qt/+bug/314408/+attachment/1493206/+files/print_dialog_gtk.png -- Please separate automatically discovered remote printers from locally configured printers https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/314408 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
