CUPS Printer Browsing in RHEL 7
Issue
- CUPS daemon does not "discover" available network printers.
- How to configure
/etc/cupsd.confso that CUPS will discover networked printers. We have a number of Lexmark laser printers available on our network. I use them with my other RHEL 6.5 hosts just fine, but this RHEL 7.1 host does will not "discover" any available networked printers. - I tried adding
BrowsePoll printserver:631to mycupsd.conffile but that throws an error about an unrecognized directive.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7
- Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) 1.6.3
- CUPS print servers running on other RHEL 4, RHEL 5, and RHEL 6 systems
