Is there a way to stop cups/avahi (probably avahi is responsible) from listing all the network printers?
I found three suggestions (see below), but none of them worked.
The list of printers is very long here at work and I would like to have just the two printers I installed with cups. Some programs just list these two printers, others show all the network printers. I am not sure why different software behaves differently.
Software that shows installed cups printers:
- Libreoffice writer
- okular
Software that also lists all network printers:
- evince
- chromium web browser
- thunderbird, firefox
- many other applications
Solutions already tried:
- systemctl [disable+stop] avahi-daemon.service avahi-daemon.socket (does not help: the services simpy start again (probably because cups needs them). It is also not a nice solution because avahi does other useful things.)
- editing cupsd.conf: Browsing No, BrowseLocalProtocols none (no effect)
- systemctl [disable+stop] cups-browsed.service (no effect)
Any ideas?
