Hi John
thanks for your quick reply. If it is not a bug, as I was reading on the
web, it is some misunderstanding from me.
Running cups 1.4.2 (CentOS6) I was using the "BrowsePoll" directive in
cupsd.conf. So the printers were automatically known from the central
server of the lab. And home printers were working fine with this setup too.
In CentOS7, with cups 1.6.3, this directive does not exist any more and
reading the doc I had understood that it was replaced by the client.conf
file. Reading your answer suggest it is not true.
So could you tell me or suggest reading on the right manner to reproduce
my previous centos6 setup ?
Sorry for this newbie question, I'm not very familiar with cups setup.
Patrick
