However, less-than-cluster machines still at the moment browse for printers against cluster-printers.mit.edu, and as established in that ticket, this means they also implicitly browse the local network. As long as printing exists in some form, there will exist misconfigured local machines re-advertising the Athena print queue(s) through themselves. We should find a way to distinguish real Athena print queues from similarly-named print queues on other servers, without necessarily breaking the option to scan for printers on the local network if the admin wants to (as [comment:ticket:229:12 comment #12] alludes to). I don't have a strong preference as to whether it should be on or off by default — if we can fix the upstream CUPS bug that is unintentionally forcing it on, great. One approach would be to prevent any other queue with a name matching the Athena print queue(s) from showing up, but let all other queues through. (This actually vaguely reminds me of nss_nonlocal, come to think of it.)" defect closed low The Distant Future -- wontfix
