Title:
Installing Network Printer via Add Printer wizard creates incorrect
Device URI (Ubuntu 16.04)
Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Hello,
Installing a network printer in Ubuntu 16.04 appears to install the
incorrect Device URI.
Summary:
I am not sure how the Device URI is supposed to work in Ubuntu, but
installing the printer using the Ubuntu Add Printer wizard (GUI) a string of
alpha characters is entered. Users are unable to print. However, manually
changing this to the Printer IP address does allow printing to work.
I confirmed this issue with four separate machines all running clean
installations of Ubuntu 16.04 with no modifications, and updates
applied.
*Please see attached PDF with installation procedure and screenshots
for details.
----------
Installation Example:
Example network printer: Brother DCP-L2540DW (Static IP: 192.168.1.20)
Procedure:
*Adding the printer: "Settings > Printer > Add"
*Select printer under "Network Printer", Host Name shows "BRN30055C829554".
*Complete installation after selecting an acceptable driver.
*Printer does NOT print. Printer Properties shows "Device URI":
"lpd://BRN30055C829554/BINARY_P1"
*Changing Device URI to printer IP (using "Change" option) corrects Device
URI to IP address "lpd://192.168.1.20/BINARY_P1"
*Printing is now successful.
