[STR New]

Hello

I work in a company where a lot of printers are available on the internal
network.

After clicking on "add printer" cups shows a list of 20+ discovered network
printer. There's no way to know which one is the printer next to my
cubicle.

The only way to configure this printer is to add a printer using its host
name or IP address. Then this becomes painful, because I must choose the
correct driver amongs a list of hundreds of drivers.

The setup could be easier if the "add printer" page also show the IP
address (or hostname) of the discovered printer with the name and model.
Then I would only need to select the printer with the right IP address to
add a new printer.

Could you implement that new feature ?

All the best
