CUPS creates printers with the same name but with "@some.ip.address" as a suffix in RHEL 6
Issue
-
We have 6 printers configured. When we add a printer, 3 printers appear automatically appear with the same name. For example:
laserprinter laserprinter@192.168.10.1 laserprinter@192.168.20.2 inkjetprinter inkjetprinter@192.168.10.1 inkjetprinter@192.168.20.2 -
Print queue names are appended with @print server name:
