Public bug reported:
We use printer instances (PRINTER/instance) that are defined in
/etc/cups/lpoptions
Printer instances don't work properly with Ubuntu 20.04 and cups 2.3.1.
We have used the same lpoptions file with earlier versions of cups.
With 2.3.1, the command:
lp PRINTER/instance FILENAME
works
But the printer instances are not visible as printers in the libreoffice
print dialog, or by using lpstat -e or lpstat -a.
There is a recent fix in the uplevel cups code for printer instances.
We did our own make and install of the uplevel master branch 2.3.5 and
printer instances are working now.
We hope that ubuntu 20.04 can soon include the 2.3.5 cups code.
