Your problem I have also discovered on my machines and reported upstream as
https://www.cups.org/str.php?L4628 For the time being do the following: If you do not want to share any of your local printers, turn off printer sharing via the "Server settings" in system-config-printer or via the cupsctl --no-share-printers command. If you want to share at least one of your printers, set all printers individually to shared, even the ones you do not intend to access from a remote machine. In both cases all printers will get listed in print dialogs and system- config-printer then. ** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed ** Changed in: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Package changed: system-config-printer (Ubuntu) => cups (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to system-config-printer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1441423 Title: printers not listed Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 1. system-config-printer is not showing all printers listed in cups web interface. 2. print dialog of applications not showing all printers listed in cups web interface. 3. lpstat -a (same result as in 1., 2.) ======= system-config-printer v1.5.6 cups v2.0.2 Linux zzz 3.19.0-12-generic #12-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 3 04:03:26 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch) Release: 15.04 Codename: vivid ======== To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+bug/1441423/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
