[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#700929: cups-browsed: Missing startup script, does not seem to work

[Erich Schubert]

Package: cups-browsed
Version: 1.0.28-1
Severity: important

The cups-browsed package seems to be missing a startup script.
The changelog mentions an upstart script, but not even this is
included in the package.
Running "cups-browsed" yields a process, but not printer queues
show up, despite a local cups server running and broadcasting.
cups-browsed --debug does show it recognizing some of the expected
printers, however not those by the cups 1.5.3 server, until I also
installed avahi there.

It really needs to be documented how to get printer browsing to work
with Cups 1.6
