Q: wireless printer multiplies in bonjour every 2 seconds
Hi there!
When I try to install my Samsung CLX-3175fw wireless printer in system preferences, the list of available printers shows thousands of nearly identical Samsung CLX-3170 series printers.
This list is extended by another duplicate every 2-3 seconds, so by now, I am in 20.000s and more. (see screenshot)
If I choose one of those printers, it is possible to print for about a day or so, but then the printer is not found anymore.
I had checked and unchecked again the printer share tickbox, tried to install and uninstall the original samsung drivers, nothing helped.
There seems to be anything corrupt with the printer settings. Mac OS or bonjour may not be able to save the printer's bonjour address or similar (I have no clue)
Does anyone have had a similar problem and knows how to solve it?
Does anybody know, which file is designated to save the available printers?
System: Mac OS Mountain lion 10.8.4 (12E55) on MB Air 2012
