One thing that is interesting, if I use KDE's system settings to

two Epson categories (Epson and EPSON), the second category has the
driverless driver and the first category has all the cups supplied
drivers, of which there isn't one for the printer I have. I've had
the

cups to
support.
https://openprinting.github.io/cups/ Says:
OpenPrinting CUPS
The current standards-based, open source printing system developed by
OpenPrinting for Linux® and other Unix®-like operating systems. CUPS
uses IPP Everywhere™ to support printing to local and network printers.
I doubt anyone will be working on legacy CUPS drivers for printers
that support IPP/AirPrint/<other verndors' IPP implemenations>.
Hi George,
I was pointing this out because I don't use the IPP Anywhere
interface, and cups has never supplied drivers for my printer, I've had
to always the Epson supplied driver to enable printing in Linux. This
was just an observation with, when adding a printer, cups shows me two
entries under the "Discovered Network Printer" section, one for IPP
Anywhere and one for the "Driverless" option, where the IPP Anywhere
shows two separate driver definitions for cups drivers and the
driverless option, whereas the "Driverless" selection displays all
drivers in the one list with the driverless driver listed first and all
the cups drivers then listed in alphabetical order.
regards,
Steve

Hi George,
Try the ppd list for a driver:
http://openprinting.org/printers
That being said, my Brother HLL-2300D was not in the list
and I had to use Brother's ppd.
