I experienced exactly the same problem on Ubuntu 20.04. I solved this way: 1. First I stopped cups-browsed: systemctl stop cups-browsed 2. Then I manually added my printer (an HP OfficeJet 6950) clicking on the "Add.." button in the Preferences, and manually selected the name from the database, so it won't use any driverless print protocol. Did a test print and it worked. 3. I removed the automatically created printer 4. Restarted cups-browsed: systemctl start cups-browsed
After that, the printer worked as expected and wasn't automatically added any more, even after a system reboot. The only minor issue is that for some reason I can't rename the printer from the Preferences, but since it's my only I can live with it for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1855595 Title: CUPS fails to print to autodetected printers because of cups-browsed error To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups-filters/+bug/1855595/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
