CUPS ClientNew Page

Under the cups client we need to prevent the discovery of networked printers in order to only use the new print server. Bonjour may also need to be disabled on the printer itself. It doesn't always stop the printer from adding. However, this is the first measure. Edit the file.

/etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf

Find

BrowseRemoteProtocols dnssd cups

Replace with

BrowseRemoteProtocols none
BrowseProtocols none

Edit the file.

/etc/cups/cupsd.conf

Find

BrowseLocalProtocols dnssd

Replace with

systemctl restart cups
