Hi Gene, Out of interest, which model printer(s) has the issue? There are options in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to disable automatic queue creation for autodetected IPP/dns-sd/etc/etc printers. You may find that # lpinfo -v copy the ipp:// url for the printer concerned Then # lpadmin -p QUEUENAME -v IPP_URL_HERE -E -m everywhere produces a functional queue Thanks Gareth > > Cheers, Gene Heskett. > -- > "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: > soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
