I've read several threads on the subject but none solves it.
In practice, under Win if one does not want to have a list of all the printers on the network, for example 50 (and you can physically use 2), there is a button to press in printer configuration, you can remove printers that you don't need. If you add a printer you can select from total list.
I have tried all these operations: http://localhost:631/admin/ → Edit Configuration File or Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf Changed: Browsing On BrowseLocalProtocols dnssd To: Browsing Off BrowseLocalProtocols none and reboot
Not resolve
Changing /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf Change this line: BrowseRemoteProtocols dnssd cups To: BrowseRemoteProtocols none and reboot
Not resolve
sudo cupsctl --no-share-printers Disable everything but does not keep the two you need that you have to reset by hand, because you don't even see them in the 'add printer'. But also changing /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and setting Browsing Off Entering the problem remain the same.
sudo service avahi-daemon stop
Don't resolve
This could easily be solved with a button 'hide printer' command and a window showing hidden printers would be enough to show them again. If you remove the printer it reappears.
It's an important thing in any big company I don't understand how it can't be done as easily as in Win.
