Printers are created on every Puppet run

[Socob]

I’m not sure if this is the same issue as #12 – there seem to be a lot of things in there which aren’t directly related to my problem.

Given Ubuntu 17.10 with Puppet Agent 4.10.4 and CUPS 2.2.4. I haven’t changed anything about the default CUPS configuration (e. g. cupsd.conf) that comes with Ubuntu 17.10.

When I apply the manifest

printers.pp

class { cups:
	default_queue => 'usbprint',
	papersize => a4,
}
cups_queue { 'usbprint':
	ensure => printer,
	uri => 'usb://Dell/Color%20MFP%20S2825cdn?serial=FH8080296&interface=1',
	model => 'lsb/usr/Dell/Dell_Color_MFP_S2825cdn.ppd.gz',
	enabled => true,
	accepting => true,
	shared => false,
}
cups_queue { 'netprint1':
	ensure => printer,
	uri => 'smb://print.example.com/netprint1',
	model => 'postscript-hp:0/ppd/hplip/HP/hp-laserjet_5100_series-ps.ppd',
	accepting => true,
}
cups_queue { 'netprint2':
	ensure => printer,
	uri => 'smb://print2.example.com/netprint2',
	model => 'drv:///hpcups.drv/hp-laserjet_p4014dn.ppd',
	accepting => true,
}

In order to set up local and network printers

Then I get the error message:

Not an error message, but each time I run puppet apply, the printers seem to be recreated:

# puppet apply printers.pp
Notice: Compiled catalog for pc.ad.example.com in environment production in 0.17 seconds
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Cups_queue[usbprint]/ensure: created a printer
Notice: /Stage[main]/Main/Cups_queue[netprint1]/ensure: created a printer

Additional information:

1. /usr/bin/ipptool is present
2. Output of lpstat -t:

3. Using

# request.ipp
{
  OPERATION CUPS-Get-Printers
  GROUP operation
  ATTR charset attributes-charset utf-8
  ATTR language attributes-natural-language en
  STATUS successful-ok
  DISPLAY printer-name
}

the output of ipptool -c ipp://localhost/ request.ipp is

# ipptool -c ipp://localhost/ request.ipp
successful-ok

Setting shared => true on the printers did not have any effect.

Looks more like a duplicate of #19 / #23. Can you try with master/HEAD ?

[Socob]

With master/HEAD, everything seems to work correctly. Cheers!

I hope to publish 2.0.0 soon.
