Wow, way cool, it works! Thanksrcrsn51 wrote:You don't need to do this - the printers are already installed. Either open the Printers section of CUPS or just launch an application and open its Print dialog.edoc wrote:I opened CUPS and went to Administration and clicked Find New Printers.

CUPS shared printers have ALWAYS worked this way.It is very confusing for those of us who are used to the old way - and for the rare bird who reads instructions!
CUPS has instructions to click on the host computer to make attached printers available to other computers on the same system.rcrsn51 wrote:Who are "they" and what instructions are you talking about?edoc wrote:Now that they have updated to automate things why have they left the old instructions in place?CUPS shared printers have ALWAYS worked this way.It is very confusing for those of us who are used to the old way - and for the rare bird who reads instructions!
In CUPS 1.1, all printers were advertised by default, which could get pretty confusing. So in newer CUPS, there are two steps. You must select the individual printers that you want to share, then turn on sharing as a whole. CUPS 1.3 uses different terminology for this than CUPS 1.4.edoc wrote:CUPS has instructions to click on the host computer to make attached printers available to other computers on the same system.
CUPS has instructions for client computers to click if one wants access to computers that have been made available "Shared" on other computers on the system. .... My observation is that if the client setting is no longer necessary than the client selection(s) to enable access to printers on other computers probably should go away.
I can't comment on your previous experiences. But here is how it has always worked for me. "Find new printers" either finds new locally attached printers or remote stand-alone printers. It does NOT find remote CUPS printers because it ALREADY knows about them. So when you open the Printers section, they are already there. But that presumes that you have done the setup correctly on the server machine.CUPS has a selection to Find New Printers. Since the client computer shows no printers this setting strongly implies that one needs to click this to add them. This is what I was told in the past - now I am wondering if this was never true - it may be why I had so many problems with shared printers - and why it has been disabled (that is, when I click it nothing is found, rather than in the past I clicked it and it did find Shared printers - and that meant two different computers were trying to control the same printer). This new way, whenever it was changed, is good!
Neither am I.Just an idea to reduce confusion. Please do as you deem best ... I am just a user ... I am not doing the heavy-lifting of writing code!
You should send your suggestions to the CUPS developer.

Our son says he's having trouble getting SuperTux to work.
It appears to me that some SuperTux folder locations have changed ... or so it seems from calling supertux from Console and then looking at the folders.
I tried to manually relocate them according to the error messages but have not yet foud just the right combination ... and errors can sometimes be a bit generic.
Anyone already addressed this already, please?

Delete the content inside that folder.
