Hide/remove network printers from printing dialog
Solution 1:
- Open Firefox or any browser on:
http://localhost:631/
- Administrations tab → Under Server title, Edit Configuration File
-
Look for
Browsing
/BrowseLocalProtocols
and set them to:Browsing Off BrowseLocalProtocols none
then Save Changes
Enter your username/password, done
If you prefer command line:
sudo nano /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
Solution 2:
I thinnk best solution is to disable cups-browsed (this avoid autodetection but not the use of other remote printers):
sudo gedit /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf
and change the line of BrowseRemoteProtocols to:
BrowseRemoteProtocols none
then restart system (or run sudo service cups-browsed restart
).
