where does qcad get its printer list?
Posted: Mon Jun 21, 2010 8:23 am
We have two networked printers, and each has a stanza in /etc/cups/printers.conf. Consequently every application shows these two printers on the print menu when trying to print a document.
Except qcad.
Qcad shows one of the printers and two long-defunct names for the other. Its current name is defined in printers.conf, and also provided by the local dns on the adsl modem/switch, or could be found by scanning the /etc/cups/ppd directory. But qcad has another source of information, which is out-of-date.
Can anybody suggest a method to teach qcad the current list of available printers?
This problem is present both in the current 2.2.2.0 and also in my old 2.1.2.8 version. The box is running debian squeeze, the kernel is 2.6.32-5-686.
