Thank you for reporting the issue to upstream. It's great to see that CUPS master already fix it.
Now I'm trying to confirm that fix solve my problem using rebuilt Zenial CUPS package with the patch. Following lpadmin command generates collect PPD (attached) and I can get printouts in color with the queue TEST. Cool! > lpadmin -p TEST -E -v `driverless` -m everywhere However, the auto-generated driverless print queue (EPSON-EP-879A-Series) still seem to use old PPD (and I can't get printouts in color with that). How I re-generate that PPD for the driverless queue? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to cups in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1689803 Title: Driverless printing to EPSON EP-879AW always print with monochrome Status in cups package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in cups-filters package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: I tried Zesty's driverless printing feature, to print my EPSON EP-879AW printer (which supports Apple Airprint). Seems well, except any printouts are monochrome. 1) connect my Zesty machine to my home network via Wi-Fi 2) connect the printer to my home network via Wi-Fi 3) use system-config-printer, the print queue connected to the printer is automatically added. 4) print some colored from any applications, like Chromium web browser, LibreOffice or else. Expected Result: - documents printed in color. Actual Result: - documents printed in monochrome.
