Since there were updates of various important packages, I thought rebooting after updates might be a good thing, just in case.
I rebooted after the glibc update the other day. I even tried rebooting when I first noticed that the remote printers had disappeared just-in-case, but nothing changed.
Is there "browsable" boolean like in Samba? I never had to set up printers in Linux network.
Up to this point remote printers just show up by magic on the list of available printers as long as they are marked as "shared" on the host machine. Now they don't show up on the list of available printers on the remote machine, even though they are available and shared on the host machine.
But installing the remote printer as an IPP printer on the client machine through system-config-printer and specifying the hostname and printer name on the host works, and the printer can be used.
Somewhere along the line either whatever it is on the server machine that announces an available printer on the network or whatever it is on the client machine that finds that printer and adds it to the list of available printers has stopped working, on two computers which are each a cups host and a client of the other.
