Hi Thierry,
Thanks for the packet logs - they were very interesting! It looks to me
as if CUPS is continually trying to talk to your print server using
IPP/2.0, which it does not appear to support. With the present code,
CUPS expects it to return an error of IPP_VERSION_NOT_SUPPORTED, which
is used as a hint to downgrade the connection. In practice, your server
acts in a similar way to Web servers, and returns a response as IPP/1.0.
Would you mind applying the following inline patch to the existing
version from comment #12 and seeing if that helps?
