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! -- François Patte UFR de mathématiques et informatique Laboratoire CNRS MAP5, UMR 8145 Université Paris Descartes 45, rue des Saints Pères F-75270 Paris Cedex 06 Tél. +33 (0)6 7892 5822 http://www.math-info.univ-paris5.fr/~patte
