FC3 (I need a more stable system than Rawhide) has about the correct
printing detection. What happens if you have several hundred printers
on a network. You do not want detection as these are likely to be light
duty, private printers.
Why would private printers be being broadcast in the first place?
Currently, CUPS publishes those printers that are marked shared
queue and these are picked up by all machines on the network. This
is fine but searching for and publishing printers that just have a
lan address is wrong. On a large lan this could take hours and
result in a long printer listing.
I'm not quite sure what behaviour you are seeing that you think is
incorrect. Could you be a bit more specific please?
