Yeah fair point. I think the ick factor is the main reason why I'm

unfortunately I'm not really thinking of a great way to handle this
other than Common Bugs. Maybe with Common Bugs now being migrated to
Ask Fedora, they'll get more visibility. And I can also try to
remember to give #fedora folks a heads up about it on IRC/matrix.
Yeah, my problem broadly with taking this bug as a blocker is "nobody
seems to have a great idea what we would then do to resolve it".
Is the underlying problem - that apparently existing "legacy"
configuration and IPP-over-USB cannot peacefully coexist - really
unsolvable? Fixing that seems like the *best* thing we could do...
I've added Alex, the upstream author, into CC of this email, to give us
further knowledge. The same situation happened in Debian and Ubuntu and
it ended as a common bug as well.
AFAIK ipp-usb creates HTTP reverse proxy over the USB port and keeps it
for further communication - fixing this would probably mean to release
the port, but keep the proxy the running and claim the USB once there is
a request - but I'm not sure whether it is worth of effort to redesign
ipp-usb for drivers, which are deprecated for twelve years and they will
go away in year or two.
@Chris, I've removed the weak dependency on ipp-usb in cups[1] and
sane-airscan[2], can you/I remove
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2066528 from final blocker
proposals now?
