Description Vita Humpa 2012-11-16 11:36:39 UTC

This is a missing functionality that was present back in system-config-printer-kde, as well as is present in system-config-printer (rh/fedora) and gnome's new control center module. 

Back in system-config-printer-kde it was possible to use a 'find' button in the IPP section that would bring in a list of available printers after typing in just the server's hostname. No need to choose drivers etc. as all would go through the remote CUPS. In fact, I am unable to add a printer even if I add the ipp:// address straight to it.

I can see and manage printers already configured elsewhere using this method. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hit 'Add printer'
2. Go to IPP section or look anywhere else

Actual Results:  
No possibilities to search for printers in some server's queue
