Hello,

for a few days now, KDE keeps telling me it found a new printer and that it is missing a fitting driver. (Systray info). My printer is already installed and has been so for years now using Turboprint, and it works perfectly. How do I tell KDE that it should stop trying to install the printer ?

Thanks in advance!

you might try the solution shown here

For Ubuntu versions 15.04+ (using systemd)

sudo systemctl stop cups-browsed

Followed by:

sudo systemctl disable cups-browsed

You may still start/stop the service manually if you wish with:

sudo systemctl start cups-browsed
sudo systemctl stop cups-browsed

Thanks, Minson, but I already purged the package cups-browsed but the message about the printer being discovered still pops up every couple of minutes. There has to be some other mechanism that has been installed recently while updating the system.

By the way:

Operating System: KDE neon 5.20
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.78.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
