So what to do now?  On my android device, I installed a mopria app, and it

desktop, I've never setup a system printer, just depended on printing to 
google cloud via chrome.

>From what info I found via google search, cups should just work with mopria-
enabled printers (like mine). According to articles I found cups should just 
detect it as available network printers. So I tried it.  kde printer config 
and system-config-printers both detect nothing as available network 
printers.
Mopria app on my android detects it just fine.  Both connected to same wifi.

Debian has a decent document on CUPS Driverless Printing

Driverless printing was designed for mobile devices that might encounter

many different printers so could not afford the overhead of setting up individual

printers.   The compromise is to have a small set of capabilities that was easy

for all the printer vendors to support.    I have a Mopria certified printer from

Canon that usually works with my wife's IOS devices, but on my desktop I use

the CUPS/Gutenprint PPD for the Mopria printer.  Some documents fail using

Mopria but do print from Fedora or Adobe Acrobat on Windows.

 

Any ideas how to debug this and/or fix it?

Does the printer appear using "avahi-browse -all | grep Printer"?  Mine shows

up as both "Internet Printer" and "UNIX Printer".

My Mopria-capable printer didn't appear using the Gnome tool in Fedora 31,

but CUPS Admin gave me two options: Gutenprint and another that didn't

use Gutenprint. I thought that might not provide the full capabilities so went

with Gutenprint.

    I've got another thread on this list around trying to set up my
    Google Cloud Printer in cups where at the moment I've been unable to
    activate Google Cloud Printing in cups. I'm using Fedora 30 in a VM
    under Windows 10. In Windows 10 I have my network connected printer
    installed as a network printer and I also have a Google Cloud
    Printer in the printer device list, but cups doesn't see either as a
    network printer. I've installed a Goople Cloud Connector service for
    cups to use but so far I have been unable to get the service to
    start. Cups also doesn't seem to want to work with the url supplied
    by Google Cloud Printing, so I'm struggling to get the interface
    working. I'm using the Vmware Player to provide the VM's and it is
    indicating that printing uses the serial interface I think it said.
    I'm not sure if that is contributing the issues either.
    
    regards,
    Steve
