How to keep cups from adding network printers

[JueShire]

Dear all,
I have a problem with Bonjour and/or cups-browsed in Debian stable.
The package cups-browsed adds the additional feature of automatically browsing for shared remote printers in a network. I want to turn this feature off. But how?

I changed /etc/cups/cupsd.conf according to the manpage:

Code: Select all

# Show shared printers on the local network.
#Browsing On
#BrowseLocalProtocols dnssd
BrowseLocalProtocols none

Browsing No

In /etc/cups/cups.browsed I changed

Code: Select all

BrowseRemoteProtocols dnssd cups

in

Code: Select all

BrowseRemoteProtocols none

and I also activated

Code: Select all

BrowseLocalProtocols none

Unfortunately it had no effect. It is also not possible to remove the package cups-browsed because cups-daemon depends on it.
Any suggestions?

Kind regards
JueShire

Have you reloaded (or restated) the daemon after your changes?

Of course.

Is it

Browsing No

or is it

Browsing Off

???


edit: according to https://www.cups.org/doc/man-cupsd.conf.html its like you wrote, but not what you are looking for.

I think you want to look at cups-browsed.service and avahi-daemon.service
