#229479 — Can't print to CUPS printer on my server

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

I'm running Debian/Bullseye on my workstation and Debian/Buster on my 
server. I have an old HP CP-1215 color laserjet attached to the server 
by a USB cable. I can print a CUPS test page from the server but not 
from my workstation. When I try to print anything from my workstation to 
that printer, I get /"No suitable destination host found by cups-browsed."/

I've deleted and re-added the printer on the server and rebooted my 
workstation but I still get the same problem.

The printer is using the foomatic drivers. CUPS reports that it is 
2.3.3op1 on my workstation and 2.2.10 on my server.

First off: Unless it is desired to make ServerName system-wide, one
should use ~/.cups/client.conf.

Secondly: avahi-daemon, cups-browsed and, more importantly, cupsd
become redundant and unused. They may as well be purged from the
client.

How does the client get to know the printer's attributes? That can
be done at present, even though printing does not take place.

The server is not the problem if printing from it is successful. Please
do

  avahi-browse -art > log1

on the server and post log here as an attachment. avahi-browse is in the
avahi-utils package. Also give 'lpstat -t'.

This is a cups-browsed issue. Give 'lpstat -t' on the client.

Executing

   avahi-browse -art > log2

on the client and sending log2 here could be useful.

How about installing avahi-utils? :)

I bet you have cups-browsed installed on the server. It's completely
unneeded and doesn't do anything to enhance the printing system there.
But that is BTW. :)

The printer is found at TheLibrarian.local and its resource path is
printers/CP1215, giving a URI of

  ipp://TheLibrarian.local:631/printers/CP1215

At present you are relying on cups-browsed on the client to discover,
auto-setup and manage the CP1215; it appears to be having an off day.
Let's manage the print queue ourselves. Execute

  lpadmin -p <PRINT_Q_NAME> -v <URI> -E -m raw

The -p option can be anything you want, for example, cp1215.

This technique has never beem known to fail. We are pleased it works for
you too. :)

Happy printing.

Perhaps I shouldn't trust package maintainers to not install unnecessary 
stuff? However, doesn't it actually discover network printers - they 
seem to be more common these days with both Wifi and versions. Not all 
my printers are plugged directly into the server.

cups-browsed seems to be having a bad week or two at least. It doesn't 
let me delete the erroneous path to the CP125 in addition to not 
detecting the correct path.

I ran the lpadmin command and CP1215 is now showing in my list of 
printers on my workstation. However it still isn't printing.

After a second, I remembered that is because I had to unplug the printer 
to set up a temporary powerline networking connection to my server 
yesterday (I'm finally getting around to replacing the last of my CAT-5 
cable with CAT-6 and having an issue with pulling a line to this 
particular room). This had nothing to do with my earlier issue however.

Anyway, hopefully a new CUPS update will get things working soon.

Thanks.

Did you set the printer to be shared?
