Regarding comment#7 "a separated CUPS-Browsing-daemon could be implemented" and comment#15 "desktop toolkits use CUPS 1.6 APIs to get dynamic printers support":
For background information and reasoning what could be done until print dialogs natively support DNS-SD browsing, see the "An idea how to provide CUPS Browsing for CUPS 1.6" thread: https://www.cups.org/newsgroups.php?gcups.general+T+Q%22An+idea+how+to+provide+CUPS+Browsing+for+CUPS+1.6%22 In particular see Till Kamppeter's proposal for an "universal cups-browsed" in this thread. Initially Till had implemented some of the "universal cups-browsed" functionality in the cups-filters software. Tim Waugh recently added support for BrowsePoll, and CUPS Browsing for sharing and discovery to the cups-browsed program in cups-filters. For the current state and details of the cups-browsed see the NEWS and README files in the cups-filters sources. The dowload URL for the cups-filters package is http://www.openprinting.org/download/cups-filters/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1061069 Title: CUPS 1.6 has major incompatible changes.
