As someone who has given a fair bit of help to other users I have abandoned advising any use of vendor solutions (free or non-free) for setting up a print queue with a modern printer. To my knowledge the number of dissatisfied customers is zero :). Alex, I would urge you to trial setting up queues for the printers you have available. Personally, I always use lpadmin; two commands and this fundamental job is done for a network connection. An alternative is to rely on the auto-setup feature of cups-browsed. https://wiki.debian.org/DriverlessPrinting#shortlpadmin There is also a big advantage in not having to deal with HP non-free plugins. The amount of trouble they can give during an installation is a pain. Ink levels are generally shown in the Embedded Web Interface (EWS). I do not comment on "status" because I am unsure what it involves. > It seems sane-airscan is not available on Debian 10, only on Debian 11. Alex Pevzner provides packages for Debian 10. I use one very successfully. https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/pzz/Debian_10/ Cheers, Brian.
