Package: cups
Version: 2.3.0-3
Severity: important
Hi,
Since my last upgrade of cups on my laptop, I do not see any options
for remote printers. It affects me both at home (where I can access to
the cups server and can change something if need be) and at work (where
I do not have any access to the server). Both servers (at home and at
work) do not change. On my laptop, it worked with cups 2.2.10 (not sure
with 2.2.12). My home server is running cups 2.2.1-8+deb9u4 (stretch)
At work, the printers are discovered by cups-browsed as they are not
on the local network and a 'BrowsePoll print.work.domain:631' line
is required. At home, I've a linux server with cups that talk to a
local printer through a propriatory driver (Brother DCP-9020CDW printer)
I will talk about the situation at home (where I can access the server).
On the server, I see all options provided be the driver:
server $ lpoptions -l -p brother

It was the same on my laptop before the new versions of cups.
But now:
laptop $ lpoptions -l -p brother

And nothing more.
I cannot choose the DuplexMode, the gray/color, ...
These was presented to me in a 'Advanced' tab of the standard cups gtk dialog (for example with evince)
http://localhost:631/printers/ reports:

At work, we have big canon printers, and I cannot choose the staple mode, ... anymore.
It is really blocking for me: I have to log (ssh) to another computer
still in stretch to print my PDF :-(
For info:
laptop $ cat /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf | egrep -v '^(#| *$)'

What can I do to get my printer options back (if possible avoiding to downgrade cups)?

"permanent" indicates local queues. There are two URIs. The second is
one managed by cups-browsed; the first is something set up by you. I
doubt this arrangemment will work reliably.

This appears to be a print queue or printer on the network.

Any unhappiness regarding the generated PPD options cannot be fixed by
Debian. You want

>From the information provided, and what you have said, it appears you
are processing a print job twice; this is not a setup supported by
Debian. I have triaged enough reports involving this situation to know
that it generally leads to grief for both parties. I am closing the
report on that basis.
https://wiki.debian.org/PrintQueuesCUPS#Double_Filtering
I would suggest you do one of two things:
1. Remove all Brother-related setup from the client and allow
cups-browsed to do its job.
2. Read https://wiki.debian.org/QuickPrintQueuesCUPS and dispense
with the server and its non-free drivers.

Thank you for the offer, but there are considerable differences between
the stretch and buster/unstable printing systems.
Thank you for you co-operation, Vincent.
Brian.
