Running 22.04 Modified cups-browsed-config and added BrowseRemoteProtocols none to the file. then executed these commands sudo systemctl stop cups-browsed sudo systemctl disable cups-browsed However, network printer still being added. What am I doing wrong?

Found this: In /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf, set directive: BrowseProtocols none Afterwards, run service cups-browsed restart and service cups restart. There should be no printers visible, except those you’ve added yourself.

Found this if it is avahi related: As mentioned earlier, this is now done in the client-side cups libraries (ie libcups.so, which GNOME and KDE apps link against) and not in the cupsd server. So changing the “Browse” settings in the cups server won’t work. $ ldd /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcups.s…

[image] aandmsantos0910: add enable-dbus=no then restart the avahi-daemon service. This fixed the problem but created several others, so had to revert.

I believe the avahi-daemon uses IPP to search and add printers for driverless print queues. If you do not use airprint or mopria to print from mobile devices to your printer you can try disbaling the IPP protocal on your printer so that the OS does not see it and add it. That is the only other thing…

Hi, On Debian 12, I resolved uncommenting this line from /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf: # BrowseDeny All then run service cups-browsed restart. I suppose it will work on Ubuntu too.

Hi, I’ve solved (workarounded) automatic network printers configuration by editing /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf and changing use-ipv4=yes use-ipv6=yes in use-ipv4=no use-ipv6=no

I suspect the avahi daemon might be coming into play here but i have no knowledge how to specifically target network printers.
