I want to disable printer discovery and printing over a wifi network.

I have tried:

edit /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf to have

BrowseRemoteProtocols none

BrowseDeny

restart CUPS from Terminal:

service cups restart

It didn't work for ubuntu 18.04

  • No, It takes to somewhere else – Rajat jain May 02 '19 at 14:18
  • You are asking two unrelated questions. As I have the same problem regarding discovery, I'm opening a new question for that. Feel free to create a new question regarding disabling network printing alltogether. https://askubuntu.com/questions/1183730/how-to-disable-network-printer-discovery-in-ubuntu-18-04 – mniess Oct 25 '19 at 09:49

Set directive BrowseProtocols, this directive apply to both BrowseRemoteProtocols and BrowseLocalProtocols.

Edit /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf and set BrowseProtocols to:

BrowseProtocols none

Then restart cups-browsed service:

sudo service cups-browsed restart
