Bug#978561: ipp-usb: Please consider a NEWS.Debian



Package: ipp-usb
Version: 0.9.14-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch


Working with other OSs, it is apparent that some users are very puzzled
when a vendor driver queue ceases to function. This NEWS item is an
attempt to head off such consternation.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

ipp-usb uses the IPP-over-USB protocol to allow the setting up of a
driverless print queue for most USB connected modern multi-function
and a few modern USB-only devices. The default is to auto-setup the
queue with cups-browsed.

Existing or newly created queues on a USB connection for IPP-over-USB
capable devices using vendor drivers will not work while the ipp-usb
service is activated and managing the connection. Details are at

https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSDriverlessPrinting

Regards,

Brian.
