PSA: Don't use ipp[s] URLs for printers

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I had a heck of a time figuring out why printing wasn't working on
Fedora 26.  It turns out that Qt applications have problems with CUPS
printers that have ipp://... (or ipps://...) device-uri's.  (This was a
clean install, and I just happened to use ipp://... when I set up my
printers; I had previously used http://...:631/....)

Symptoms include:

* Qt applications will default to "Print to File (PDF)," even though a
  default CUPS queue is set.  (The CUPS printers are selectable in the
  drop-down, but ....)

* Page size will always default to A4, even if the printer is configured
  to use another default page size in CUPS.

* Most seriously, actually clicking on the "Print" button has no effect.

Gtk applications don't seem to have any problem with ipp[s] URLs, but
running "lpoptions -l" will error out:

  lpoptions: Unable to get PPD file for XXXXXXXXXX: Not Found

I suspect this is a symptom of this issue:
