Note that cups-browsed never "corrects" any print queues which it did not create by itself. It removes all print queues which it created (except for a queue which is set to be the default printer) on shut down or when the printer or server is shut down or disappears for any other reason. With this all manual changes on these print queues get lost. On boot or when the server/printer reappears cups-browsed creates a new print queue.
Queues stay conserved and keep your changes probably because you have set them as default printer or you have created a new print queue (and not modified one which was originally created by cups-browsed). Print queues created by cups-browsed are marked as such in /etc/cups/printers.conf. They contain the entry "Option cups-browsed true". Note that CUPS does not update printers.conf immediately and can write to it at any time and also cups-browsed does not re-check whether the "Option cups-browsed true" is still there when removing the queue on shutdown. So do not edit printers.conf when at least one of cupsd and cups-browsed is running. To get a working queue for your printer, ignore the one created by cups- browsed (it will disappear with the next version of cups-filters) and create a new one using the "New printer" button in system-config- printer. This queue will stay conserved through reboot and keep your settings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups-filters in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1335211 Title: Config details of networked printer aren't saved Status in “cups-filters” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “system-config-printer” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Mint 17 64 bit. When I run the printer configuration application (system-config-printer) it detects my network printer. If I then access Priner properties I can set the manufacturer and model number in the usual way and the printer works. However the settings don't survive a reboot. The workround is to make a change to the Description field: the Apply button is then enabled and I can save the changes. Evidently the application doesn't register the changes to the printer's properties as a change requiring saving, and so leaves the Apply button greyed out. This behaviour is consistent and repeatable under Mate and Xfce. While the workround is simple the behaviour is confusing particularly to a new user.
