Public bug reported:
after an upgrade from ubuntu 15.04 to 15.10 the print dialogs (eg in
okular, firefox etc) do not display any printer properties and do not
allow to change anything. for example, default paper setting for our
main printer is now in okular "Letter" while it's clearly an "A4"
printer. in okular and firefox one cannot change the duplex options
anymore.
in short: while remote printers are still recognized and listed, it
seems their settings are not.
while my clients are version 2.1.0, our institute cups server runs
version 1.5.3 and i don't see any easy way we can force them to upgrade
it.
i tried to force the lower version by stopping both cups services (cups
and cups-browsed) and creating an /etc/cups/client.conf with ServerName
x.y.z/version=1.1 but it seems this is not supported anymore. lpstat
does not see any printers but the "add /version=1.1" message is still
issued, although obviously not supported. are these inconsistencies any
indication of a possible bug?
