The working Linux Mint system says : dnssd://Brother%20HL-L2360D%20series._ipp._tcp.local/ I pasted that into the AppVM as root with system-printer-config -> settings-> change -> IPP (ipp) and IPP (ipps) with no luck I did notice when I launched system-printer-config in terminal I see: Error creating proxy: The connection is closed (g-io-error-quark, 18) doing a web search on it but not hopeful 1) does it matter is system-printer-config runs as root or user in AppVM 2) will re running the driver setup /cups etc tarball package conflict with what I already did in the fedora-26-cloneprinter Template VM ? 3) I'm afraid static IPs are going to be a nonstarter for chronic newb as myself https://dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=263998 4) so much for qubes printing is so easy posts I've seen ...... even without a sys-usb :P -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
