I have much the same problem with a fresh install (not an upgrade) of
Dapper on a machine which previously ran Breezy.



There is an Officejet 7410 multifunction printer on the network which
cannot be detected by Dapper, but was easily found by Breezy, and is
autodetected by a Win2k PC. I can get the printer and scanner to work
in Dapper by manually configuring its URI. I have not tried the print
to fax feature, since I don't use it. However, since the device IP
address is dynamic, the URI can change, and I'd much rather have it
discovered automatically.



FWIW, browsing is on in browse.conf, Listen localhost:631 in
ports.conf, and Detect LAN Printers is on in gnome-cups-manager. Note
also, that putting a ServerName line in client.conf (as suggested in
Krazy Penguin's Dapper Guide) results in cupsd failing to start,
without issuing any error messages.



Is it possible to downgrade the CUPS in Dapper from 1.2 to 1.1.x?
