Bug#1013437: cups: Nothing prints from driverless IPP queues unless added via lpadmin
Package: cups
Version: 2.3.3op2-3+deb11u2
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: donotspam@fastmail.fm
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Attempting to print to driverless printer queue for airprint printer.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Brother MFC-L2740DW with print/fax/scan/copy abilities has stopped printing
from queues not added with lpadmin.
Autodetected queues, as well as those added via cups web interface or system-
config-printer, do not produce output.
This worked until recently, though I don't print often so don't know when it
changed.
Printing only works if a queue is added by using the lpadmin command:
$ sudo lpadmin -p MFC-L2740DW -v
ipp://Brother%20MFC-L2740DW%20series._ipp._tcp.local/ -E -m everywhere
Autodetected printer queues are not created if a maually-added printer is
already set up.
* What was the outcome of this action?
No physical output from printer.
lpstat -t at varying times, shows
"Waiting for job to complete".
"No suitable Destination Host found by cups-browsed"
"Printer disappeared or cups-browsed shutdown"
Sometimes jobs apparently succeed, according to queue monitors and lpstat, but
still nothing prints. The printer lights up and whirrs as expected, but no
output emerges.
Documents print as expected via cups on ubuntu 22.04, as well as via airprint
from iphone.
Printer prints reports from its own console menus as expected.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Documents print.
