Description David Woodhouse 2013-08-12 15:20:39 UTC 
I have two printers of the *same* model which are autodiscovered by CUPS.

When trying to add printers via GNOME control center, only *one* of these two printers is shown.

To reproduce, add a simple shell script in /usr/lib/cups/backend/foo which contains the following:

#!/bin/sh

cat <<EOF
socket socket://127.0.0.1:9100 "foo1" "bar1" "MDL:HP LaserJet M5035 MFP" "left"
socket socket://127.0.0.2:9100 "foo2" "bar2" "MDL:HP LaserJet M5035 MFP" "right"
EOF
Comment 1 David Woodhouse 2013-08-14 20:57:19 UTC 
Device class in the above example should be 'network' rather than 'socket'. Fixing this makes it work as expected.
