Public bug reported:
system-config-printer-gnome version 1.4.3+20140219-0ubuntu2.1
python-cups version 1.9.66-0ubuntu2
libcups2 version 1.7.2-0ubuntu1.1
I have my systems configured to talk to a cups 1.3 server, which only
speaks IPP 1.1, so I have in /etc/cups/client.conf:
ServerName cups-serv.example.com/version=1.1
...and printing from applications and the command line works fine.
When I run system-config-printer, all the printers are shown in a
dialogue box, but attempting to refresh the dialogue box or perform any
operation on any of the printer icons in the box produces an error box
saying:
CUPS server error
There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'Bad Request'.
Viewing the network traffic with wireshark I see that system-config-printer is
making some requests with IPP version 2.0, and it is these requests which the
CUPS server is objecting to. system-config-printer (or perhaps the python CUPS
libraries it uses, or perhaps the underlying C CUPS API) should respect the
version=1.1 option in client.conf.
