I have uploaded a modified CUPS package to my PPA now. Please add my PPA
to your system as described on
https://launchpad.net/~till-kamppeter/+archive/ppa
in the section "Adding this PPA to your system" and then install the new
CUPS package, preferably by simply doing a full system update. The CUPS
version must be 1.5.3-0ubuntu2~ppa3.
This CUPS version contains two IPP backends: One is called "ipp" and is
the new one of CUPS 1.5.x. This version does not work with your printer.
The other is called "ipp14" and is the IPP backend of CUPS 1.4.x, the
backend which got used in Natty (11.04) and Oneiric (11.10 with all
updates). This backend should work with your printer, as Ubuntu 11.10
worked for you.
So I want to ask you to test with this backend.
Here are ways to get it used:
1. In a terminal window, run the command
lpstat -v
This gives you a list with all print queues. Entries for your non-
working printer look like this:
device for ipp-printer: ipp://192.168.1.1/ipp
The word after "device for" is the name of the print queue, the string
after the colon is the URI (Unified Resource Identifier) for your print
queue.
You need to change your URI so that it starts with "ipp14://" instead of
"ipp://". This you do with the command
lpadmin -p <queue name> -v ipp14://<rest of the URI>
or in this example with
lpadmin -p ipp-printer -v ipp14://192.168.1.1/ipp
After that make sure the print queue is cleared and enabled:
cancel -a
cupsenable ipp-printer
and try to print. Does it work now?
2. Create a print queue with system-config-printer (click gear icon in
the upper right, then choose "Printers" in the menu, or run the command
"system-config-printer &" in a terminal window).
Click the "Add" button (with the green "+"), click "Network Printer" to
open the network printer part, choose "Internet Printing Protocol
(ipp14)", then enter the URI for your printer in the upper right, like
ipp14://192.168.1.1/ipp
Important is that you use the IP of your printer and that the URI starts
with "ipp14://". Click "Forward", then manually choose manufacturer and
model of the printer if needed, choose the driver if needed (the
recommended one is pre-selected), "Forward", enter desired queue name
and finish the wizard.
3. If you have a print queue with a "dnssd://..." URI you can find out
the corresponding "ipp://..." URI by printing a job on it (job will not
actually print on your printer) and then search your error_log for
"ipp://...". Use this URI with the "ipp:" replaced by "ipp14:". Create
an appropriate queue as described under 1. or 2..
Try to print on your new print queue now. It should work.
