Public bug reported: When gnome-cups-manager autodetects a printer it only shows the printer name, not the connection type/backen used.
This information may be necessary to set up the printer properly. ie. HP DeskJet printers are shown twice, once with usb/lpt backend and once with hp backend. The printer only works properly with hplip if the hp backend is used. ** Affects: gnome-cups-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- It is not possible to tell what backend/connection is used for printer https://launchpad.net/bugs/54256 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
