You're right. This patch was in the Ubuntu fork (to work best in Ubuntu snaps 
I guess), which I imported.

So I forwarded to (the new) upstream there
https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/pull/39

… where it got put to doubt by Michael Sweet (upstream author).

So I'll remove it from unstable and experimental.

Cheers,

thanks

It is not too surprising to still find the described behaviour in
the experimental version of cups-client as it contains the patch
"Make lpoptions list a printer's options correctly also when CUPS
is running on an alternative port".

Is it possible to reinstate what CUPS Issue #5045 was intended to
fix and provide?

Sometimes, I am inclined to submit reports that are not in fact
bugs; I usually discover this myself. I would appreciate knowing
whether this bug too should be closed.

Cheers,

Brian.



Bug#970725: cups-client: lpoptions fails to get printer options

2020-09-22 Thread Brian Potkin
Package: cups-client
Version: 2.3.3-3
Severity: normal




cups-browsed is not running, 'lpstat -l -e' lists ENVY4500 as being on
the network and gives its URI. 'lpoptions -p ENVY4500 -l' (which works
on 2.3.3-2) gives:

 lpoptions: Unable to get PPD file for ENVY4500: The printer or class
does not exist.

'lpoptions -p ENVY4500' does work.

Regards,

Brian.
