But I still get the message about printer drivers being deprecated: (from journalctl -b | grep -i cups)
Sep 05 11:37:25 coyote cupsd[1257]: Printer drivers are deprecated and will stop working in a future version of CUPS. See https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups/issues/103
I thought about this quite a bit earlier this week. I was wrong to think deprecation should be automatically handled by dnf patching or upgrading. It could in some circumstances be crippling. I think Tim might have been saying something similar earlier this week.
So now the question is what do I need to do to get my workstation's printing clean and up to date?
If your printer supports driverless printing, e.g., AirPrint, IPP, or maybe Mopria, using a network connection,
you should not be using legacy drivers as support will go away. If you have a USB-only or very old printer
that does not support driverless printing you need to plan for the time when it will no longer work with current
linux systems. There are efforts to provde IPP adapters for some USB or legacy printers -- see https://github.com/OpenPrinting/ipp-usb
