[arch-general] cups 1.6.0 hitting testing
A major cups update hits testing. Cups has dropped native printer browsing support for Linux OS, you now need to run the avahi-daemon before you start cupsd. Make sure you also cleanup your cupds.conf. My server seems to print well. Clients can see the printers in the print dialog here. Please report broken stuff you may find to our tracker or upstream. Note: Please also test the systemd-socket patch. My server is running initscripts so I can't test it. It has become a mix of the Fedora and the Gentoo patch (no big differences). -Andy

Is it normal to get the web managing page talking in japanese or chinese when clicking on "manage printers" ?

Somehow yes. It seems to be an upstream issue. Same here. It should be English at least. Please report it upstream. Please note that almost all translations have been kicked out. -Andy

Only tabs are affected. And it is known upstream, as far as I can see on cups bug tracker. See http://www.cups.org/str.php?L4147+Qversion:1.6 and http://www.cups.org/str.php?L4148+Qversion:1.6
Please note that almost all translations have been kicked out.

So to be clear, this is only printer network discovery, right (at least that is what I understood from fedora ML)? Is there a need for avahi if one alaready knows the printer IP?
Make sure you also cleanup your cupds.conf.
