Public bug reported:
I tried Zesty's driverless printing feature, to print my EPSON EP-879AW printer
(which supports Apple Airprint).
Seems well, except any printouts are monochrome.
1) connect my Zesty machine to my home network via Wi-Fi
2) connect the printer to my home network via Wi-Fi
3) use system-config-printer, the print queue connected to the printer is
automatically added.
4) print some colored from any applications, like Chromium web browser,
LibreOffice or else.
Expected Result:
- documents printed in color.
Actual Result:
- documents printed in monochrome.
NOTE:
driverlesstest.ppd, generated by following command is attached:
$ lpadmin -p driverlesstest -E -v ipp://EPSONxxxxx.local:631/ipp/print
-m everywhere
By using FileDevice feature of CUPS, generated CUPS-raster file is already
monochrome data.

$ file /tmp/driverless.prn
/tmp/driverless.prn: Cups Raster version 2, Big Endian, 360x360 dpi, 2976x4209
pixels 1 bits/color 1 bits/pixel ColorOrder=Chunky ColorSpace=black

I guess that the problem is pdftoraster filter generates monochrome data
although the generated PPD contains "*ColorDevice: True."
