    irritating printer popups

    Recently I am getting numerous printer popups while browsing. I have tried reinstalling cups, deleting and reinstalling all printers and no luck. This is a library and people find it really irritating to constantly see these popups. Currently 6 of them have popped up and won't close. See screenshot. I am running xubuntu 22.04 on all the library public computers. Please help

    Printers are a common malware target, and I'm not saying you have some, but with not enough information it's next to impossible to help you.

    Please see if you can add some debug logs: https://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/HowToEnableDebugCUPS

    EDIT: Also look in
    Code:
    less /var/log/cups/error_log
    Good Luck though.
