Rob Knight ☛ How Many Mildliner Colours Are There Now?
The hex codes are based on Zebra's official chart with the exception of the new colours which I grabbed off a marketing image.

University of Toronto ☛ Current cups-browsed seems to be bad for central CUPS print servers
Suppose, not hypothetically, that you have a central CUPS print server, and that people also have Linux desktops or laptops that they point at your print server to print to your printers. As of at least Ubunut 24.04, if you're doing this you probably want to get people to turn off and disable cups-browsed on their machines. If you don't, your central print server may see a constant flood of connections from client machines running cups-browsed. You're probably running it, as I believe that cups-browsed is installed and activated by default these days in most desktop Linux environments.
