CUPS 1.6.1 client and CUPS 1.4.4 server

nticompass · 2013-02-20 05:11:10

I have a Debian server running CUPS 1.4.4, a Gentoo desktop with CUPS 1.5 (I think), and a laptop with Arch Linux and CUPS 1.6.1.

On the Debian box, I have "Share printers connected to this system" and the "CUPS" protocol selected. On my Gentoo desktop, I have the "Show printers shared by other systems" option and the "CUPS" protocol selected, and it prints just fine.

On my Arch Linux Laptop, there is no "Show printers shared by other systems" option. How can I get CUPS 1.6.1 to print to the CUPS 1.4.4 server?

I had the same problem here, need to downgrade the following packages
gtk2 to 2.24.9-3
libcups to 1.4.8-2
and if you have cups installed, dowgrade to the same version as libcups

I think i something related to a deprecation

I could downgrade, but didn't the wiki say something about cups-browserd and Avahi being needed now or something?

Well, I tried everything else without success

Anyone got any idea how I can get ArchLinux to print to a CUPS 1.4 print server?
