Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cups
I have two identical printers on my system (one usb, one ethernet) for
the same printer (see bug 426776 for more on that). I want to rename one
to be something with the word USB in it, and the other to have the word
"Network" in it (or similar). I tried to rename one, not realising that
printer names couldn't have spaces in (?) and when I added the string "
USB" to the end of the name, I got the attached error which doesn't
explain what the issue is. I guessed it was the space and sure enough I
was then able to rename the printer to have no spaces in the name, but I
suspect an "average" user would not come to this conclusion. The error
message should be more clear.
"CUPS server error
There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-bad-request'."
