Not quite sure whether I've got a same problem or not, but after upgrade to 1.6.x cups web interface didn't even *see* my networked printers. Downgrade to 1.5.3 fixed things immediately.

Have had mostly non-printing issues with CUPS this past week. Most recently... This laptop was upgraded from: net-print/cups-1.6.1; net-print/cups-filters-1.0.19-r1; app-text/poppler-0.20.2-r1 to net-print/cups-1.6.1; net-print/cups-filters-1.0.20; app-text/poppler-0.20.2-r1 and does not print properly. Also app-text/poppler-0.20.2-r1 and net-print/cups-1.6.1 were rebuilt. It printed a file from Inkscape fine with cups-filters-1.0.19-r1, but after the upgrade and rebooting laptop, restarting CUPS and the printer, it won't print the same file from Inkscape. It also won't Print Test Page from the Printers > Maintenance of the CUPS interface. Here's a screenshot of those attempts: http://ompldr.org/vZXo1bQ mingdao@laptop ~ $ less /var/log/cups/error_log <snip all but Aug 3> W [03/Aug/2012:14:19:04 -0500] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files W [03/Aug/2012:14:19:04 -0500] CreateProfile failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files W [03/Aug/2012:14:19:04 -0500] CreateDevice failed: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:The name org.freedesktop.ColorManager was not provided by any .service files E [03/Aug/2012:14:19:04 -0500] Unable to open listen socket for address [v1.::1]:631 - Address family not supported by protocol.

This sounds like what I've been suffering too. Upgraded to cups-1.6.0 then 1.6.1 on Gentoo server (hosting a shared HP PSC 750) and Gentoo and Arch clients. Previously I've not needed to really do anything on the clients, as they saw the shared cupsd automatically. I didn't even need the hplip drivers. No longer. The clients refuse to see the server, even after enabling USE=avahi (which I'd really rather avoid anyway). They can only print to it by installing hplip and defining a new printer using the uri scheme http://lanhost/printers/printername "locally" on each client. This in turn causes large jobs to fail because the remote queue times out while waiting for the job to be compiled and sent by the client. (This in turn causes my SO to threaten me with kitchen implements.) I suspect that the avahi/Bonjour/whatever support they've added has somehow clobbered the existing discovery method.
OK everyone, please tell me * what mechanism you used to find the printers * does cups-1.5 still find the printers if you set Browsing Off in cupsd.conf * how does the printer URL look like? Browsing is completely gone in 1.6, unfortunately. ("Replaced by zeroconf/avahi")
(In reply to comment #4) > * what mechanism you used to find the printers I simply define them directly - no browsing or something in that manner. FWIW I do this in a user mode linux image.
(In reply to comment #4) > OK everyone, please tell me > * what mechanism you used to find the printers I believe (from those listed in the 1.5.* admin interface) it was simply "CUPS" method (does this make sense?) > * does cups-1.5 still find the printers if you set Browsing Off in cupsd.conf Didn't try, would have assumed it definitely wouldn't if I did that (or at least that I couldn't reach the said admin interface from client machines, which is needed when this much is going wrong!) > * how does the printer URL look like? Local: hp:/usb/PSC_750?serial=MY2BID11T2WB Network: http://host:631/printers/PSC_750 (only one that worked under 1.6.*) > > > Browsing is completely gone in 1.6, unfortunately. ("Replaced by > zeroconf/avahi") Thanks for bringing that to light, where was this said? The Changelog only mentioned adding avahi, not clobbering other discovery methods. At this point I give up on auto-discovery; have moved to naming the printer host in /etc/cups/client.conf which seems more reliable and means clients don't need their own cupsd running (or drivers installed).
OK... I've added a big fat warning about Browsing to the ebuild (but it'll only show up on upgrade from <1.6 to avoid elog spam). Other than that, I fear we cannot do much here. The decision to drop browsing was a political one from cups upstream (= Apple). I'm resolving this as "upstream", if you disagree, please leave a message and I'll reopen.
