I try to configure a printer on my local network but all attemps fail. I have a printer attached to one computer on an usb port and I want to use it with other computers on my local network. I opened firefox on one computer and miracle: the printer attached to the other computer is discovered and cups admin interface asks me if I want to add this printer. Nice: the job is easy!! *But* this does not work at all!! Sending a test page returns that the printer is not responding. I tried to cofigure the printer using the "Add printer" way and chose ipp. According to the given syntax, I wrote: ipp://name-of-server/ipp but this does not work: sending a test page returns that the printer is misconfigured or no longer exists... I replaced the name of the server by its IP address... same result. I tried: ipp://name-of-server:631/printers/name-of-printer-on-server. It does not work, the message is now: Filter failed. What fiter? I don't know as cups logs no longer exist since systemd... Does somebody know a solution? After googleling a lot I could solve my problem but in a very strange way! First I found some people talking about the impossibility to use the same driver on the server (the computer to which the printer is plugged) and the other computers on the LAN, them claimed that the driver to use on the clients must be the "raw" driver. So I tried to modify the configuration on a client, changing the driver to raw, but cups refuses at the end to modify the config and I had to delete the printer on the client and to re-add the printer from scratch using the raw driver and cups accepted this way of doing. But printing a test page failed. "Filter failed" was the error! journalctl gives useless information, just a joke (maybe): " Job stopped due to filter errors; please consult the error_log file for details." There is no more error_log file At last I tried to use the "automatic way": ask cups to find the printers on the LAN and add the computer. Using this way, I chose the raw driver (cups accepted this) but the configuration failed one more time: "the printer is misconfigured or no longer exists". So, I asked to modify this configuration, replacing the dnssd address by an ipp one and I did not change the driver in this modification and, this time, cups accepted the modification and at last the printer worked! cups really sucks! The cups system in Fedora 27 has taken a giant step backward from prior versions in that browsing no longer works automatically. In F26, if the cups-browsed service was enabled and started, all the printers on the LAN would be discovered and be available for use - automatically. Hi David, I'm a little confused by what you mean here. In all versions of cups, including F27, when you add a printer to cups, if the network printer is turned on cups can automatically find it if it has support for the printer, then when that printer is selected and the driver selected, the printer is added to the printer list. If cups-browsed is active then another entry is automatically added. In my case, with the Epson printer (Expression ET 3700) I have cups finds two entries provided from having installed the Epson supplied driver (cups doesn't have native support), one using lpd and the other using dnssd. The entry that gets auto added if cups-browsed is active uses ipps and is specified as driverless, hence when selecting paper types it doesn't know anything about Epson specific paper. regards, Steve In F27 this no longer works. But there is a workaround. I must now edit /etc/cups/cups-browsed.conf on each and every client machine to add these lines: BrowsePoll datium BrowsePoll datair LocalQueueNamingRemoteCUPS RemoteName where datium and datair are _my_ servers with connected printers. Note that Fully Qualified Names, such as datium.datix.lan, are NOT acceptable. With only two physical printers and a handful of client machines on my LAN, this is marginally tolerable; with a much larger LAN, it isn't. I've complained in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1518415 and in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1525937. Apparently the "upstream" developers have a much different view than me of why Linux printing has traditionally been so successful and reliable and are hell-bent on "fixing" it. -- David A.

Hello. I don't know if it has already been discussed, but in Firefox, in about:preferences#privacy, "Allow Firefox to send technical and interaction data to Mozilla" and "Allow Firefox to install and run studies" are enabled by default. Ok, I trust Mozilla, but these should be opt-in features, IMO. I don't want to start a flame, but I ask if someone could kindly point me where, in Fedora, this question has already been discussed. Thanks, A. ___ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
