You could use the "lpadmin" command in the script instead of writing
into printers.conf directly:
######################################################
echo "====Enter the name of the printer to be installed:==== "
read printerName
sudo lpadmin -p "$printerName" -E -v "lpd://10.0.0.3/$printerName" -D
"$printerName" -o printer-error-policy=stop-printer
echo "============================================="
sudo cp /mnt/printer /usr/local/bin/.
sudo cp /mnt/changes /usr/local/bin/.
sudo chmod -R 700 /usr/local/bin/
echo "============================================="
echo "#!/bin/sh -e" | sudo tee -a /etc/rc.local
echo "/usr/local/bin/printer" | sudo tee -a /etc/rc.local
echo "/usr/local/bin/changes" | sudo tee -a /etc/rc.local
echo "exit 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/rc.local
echo "============================================="
###################################################################
See "man lpadmin" for more possibilities.
I will close the bug as we will not change the architecture of CUPS to
be different to upstream in Ubuntu.
** Changed in: cups (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Won't Fix
