Cups, Cups-browsed

Hi,

I have a strange problem on one laptop with cups in CentOS7, all updates applied.

Sometime, the lpstat -t command returns “No destination host name supplied by cups-browsed for printer” and asks if  cups-browsed is running. Nonetheless cups-browsed is running and is configured. Restarting  cups-browsed  does not help so the problem is not related to cups-browsed . The solution is to manually restart cups service

But, the user has no root access on his laptop (it is not allowed in our professional environment) so the only work-around would be a cron task. But this is a work-around, not a solution to this problem.

Did someone encounter this behavior and found the solution ? Could it be related to swiching from Wifi (at home) to wired network (at workplace)?

I have several laptops, all installed with the same kickstart file via PXE boot and cups running fine. All are DELL computers except this one which is a HP ZBook.

Thanks

Patrick
