After much gnashing of teeth (actually disassembling my Samsung C410 to remove two sheets of paper wrapped around the fuser), I'm still confused about something. When I set up my Samsung C410 through the CUPS web interface, on the server I use the Samsung C410 driver and the usb connection. On the client I use the discovered printer but again need to use the Samsung C410 driver which now shows up as Remote printer: Samsung C410 Series (color).
When I set up the HP Color LaserJet CP1215, on the server I use the HP Color LaserJet CP1215 Foomatic driver and the usb connection. However on the client when I use the discovered printer and the CP1215 driver, it doesn't work. I need to use raw printing.
I'm sorry but this doesn't make any sense to me. If I understand things correctly, CUPS knows that the printer is remote and is being handled by a CUPS server but can't figure out which machine should do the rendering. Instead it leaves it up to the driver to add the smarts to figure out who should do it.
I've got several printers attached to my server, including 2 Samsungs, 1 Epson and the CP1215. Only the CP1215 seems to believe that it is a local raw printer on my client. And again, this only seems to be a problem since I moved to Stretch. I think this qualifies as a bug.
