net-print/cups-1.6 no longer supports automatic remote printers or |
18 |
implicit classes via the CUPS, LDAP, or SLP protocols, i.e. "network |
19 |
browsing". |
20 |
|
21 |
The browsing functionality can be restored by running cups-browsed |
22 |
from net-print/cups-filters as a separate daemon (just add its init |
23 |
script to your default runlevel). By default cups-browsed uses the |
24 |
net-print/cups-1.5 browse protocol, but it can also utilize zeroconf |
25 |
(if the zeroconf use flag is set). See /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf |
26 |
for configuration. |
27 |
|
28 |
Of course, directly specifying the location of your printers in |
29 |
the cups interface works as well. |
