A client.conf is unneeded on a well-behaved CUPS system that obtains info
from avahi-daemon.

in the past, its been required to nuke any and all instances found with 
avahi in its name in order to get rid of the totally bogus 
169.xx.xxx.xxx. default route address as is now reported by ip r after a 
reboot.  This has been true even before jessie. However I've now 
re-installed it on two of these armbian bullseye machines w/o losing my 
network. Perhaps it has learned some manners since jessie? Network 
Manager, my other major headache certainly has.

Take care and stay well Brian.

Your directory listings showed that both had a ppd directory, but you
didn't show the content of those directories. Since your error message
was specifically that it couldn't find the PPD, the first thing I'd do
is compare those two directories.

The message was not about not being able to *find* a PPD. Finding something
implies it already exists. Here is the message againn:

And it did not exist until the lpadmin created it.

The ppd dirs are empty.

And if a copy/paste from this machine, hosting the printers fixes it on 
the other bullseye machines so these printers are available to whomever 
wants to use them, like geany or okular etc, can we create a cups bug 
entry? Perms on those empty ppd dirs are:
gene@bpi54:~$ ls -l /etc/cups
total 80
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root    30 Apr  8 20:07 client.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 30456 Apr 14 03:14 cups-browsed.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  6486 Apr 30 05:09 cupsd.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  3047 May 23  2022 cups-files.conf
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 May 23  2022 interfaces
drwxr-xr-x 2 root lp    4096 May 23  2022 ppd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   240 Oct 15  2022 raw.convs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   211 Oct 15  2022 raw.types
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   142 May 23  2022 snmp.conf
drwx------ 2 root lp    4096 May 23  2022 ssl
-rw-r----- 1 root lp      93 Feb  6 23:41 subscriptions.conf
-rw-r----- 1 root lp     335 Feb  6 23:35 subscriptions.conf.O
gene@bpi54:~$ ls -l /etc/cups/ppd
total 0

So it looks to me like cups, to add a printer, needs to be either root, 
ask a sudo pw, or be a member of group lp.

But group lp is bereft of any other members with "lp:x:7:" as its one 
and only member, but cups on these machines has yet to ask me for a pw. 
This looks like it could be part of the original show stopper problem?
Or, am I overthinking this again?



Cheers, Gene Heskett.

The 1st armbian, bpi51, /etc/cups/ppd does contain the PDF generator PPD
The 4th one, bpi54 /etc/cups/ppd is empty. All were installed with the 
same bullseye 11.6 installer. The other two are presently powered down 
in the middle of building a quad of 3d printers around them.

I might be getting on in the middle of my 88th year here, but I can 
still carve useful things in OpenSCAD and in gcode. At the link in my 
sig you'll find a link to this machine, and in that link are some pix of 
what I'm doing. I wrote every byte of the gcode that carves those wooden 
screws in a couple of those pix.

Stronger by quite a bit than anything you can get from fleabay at any price.

I thought you had uninstalled cups-browsed from the bullseye machines.
Are the printers that you can't see actually on the network, or are
they connected to a specific machine (I didn't understand their being
"shared"). It was worrying that you said that one machine worked when
using the IP address but not its FQDN. (Actually, I've always thought
it misguided that that host, coyote, has the same name as the network.)

Cheers,
David.

Indeed, it seems it has paid off, as it works now for Gene !

The Brian-Gene exchanges are now set in stone, and can now serve as a 
step-by-step debug guide for CUPS.

I'm glad Gene followed suggestions this time, right Gene ? ;)

Although I was afraid when I saw :

*** WARNING: Detected another IPv4 mDNS stack running on this host. This 
makes mDNS unreliable and is thus not>

Is that expected at 1st avahi start ?

Second question: is that possible to use CUPS/printing without avahi ?

avahi-daemon is recommended by cups-daemong. Printing is *always* possible
without its being on the system, especially if it's desired to make things
difficult for all users. I'm afraid the remainder of the sentence is very
misleading and amounts to nonsense.

What nonsense? I have repeatedly asked why printers shared from this 
machine, that are seen and usable from any buster machine on my net, but 
cannot be seen or used by any other bullseye machine on this same net by 
localhost:631 on that bullseye machine.

lpstat and friends can see and use them, but no cups related stuff 
installed on a bullseye install can.

And no one can tell me why... none of the editors or pdf readers that 
have a print this dialog, geany, evince, etc, can't see or use these 
printers. I thought maybe we were on the trail of finding a solution, 
but you were happy & went away when an lp command line worked. But way 
too many of the other utils ignore any attempt to use lp if they can't 
use cups. For me, its a serious problem. Yes, lp works, but I'm back to 
the amiga, ghostscript 5.05 I had to build and an array of shell scripts 
I wrote to print a multipage document. That is 1990 stuff. I just looked 
at a calendar and found its now 2023.  Seems to me that 33 years later, 
we should have made more progress than I can see here.

Take care & stay well Brian.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.

A very general question was asked. You answered in terms of your own particular
situation:

 * An unrevealed non-Debian OS on bpi51.
 * A well-known aversion to Avahi.
 * An aversion to the everywhere model.
 * An output from 'lpoptions -p HLL2320D_coyote -l' that indicates a broken
   system.

Your conclusion is that the printing system is in itself is defective and that is
reflected in your response. Their fault - not mine.

I gave you a classic printing solution because New Architecture printing fell apart
*on your system*. I am very much disinclined to dig any further into the setup
you have devised for printing.

The armbian version of debian  bullseye 11.6 which except for the uboot 
stuff, uses the debian arm64 repo's for everything else.  And which I'm 
pretty sure has been posted.

>   * A well-known aversion to Avahi.

Which I have now reinstalled, much to my amazement has not insisted on 
replacing the default route with a 169.number. My aversion to avahi goes 
clear back to long before Jessie because it was not possible to achieve 
a working, local 192.168,xx.xx based network with avahi installed. 
Avahi, like NM has finally learned some manners.

>   * An aversion to the everywhere model.

Because it reduces any printer to the lowest common denominator. No 
duplex, no multiple paper trays, huge borders & poor almost unreadable 
fonts.

this is bad?
gene@coyote:~$ lpoptions -p HLL2320D_coyote -l

The only thing I don't see is its shared state? but it is.
So why can't another bullseye install use these printers? Buster 
machines have 100% transparent access.

The commaand has been executed on the server, the machine named coyote. The
machine of interest is bpi51, which gives

  > lpoptions: Unable to get PPD file for HLL2320D_coyote: The printer or class

bpi51 is unable to the printer attributes from coyote.

Contrast that with a buster machine:

gene@sixty40:~$ lpoptions -p HLL2320D_coyote -l

This output would be expected on bpi51.

Because bpi51 is unable to get attributes from the server to form a PPD file
for HLL2320D_coyote. That is what needs sorting.
