Anyone had a look at iOS 15 with a CUPS server yet? I tried on Friday and it seems iOS has made some big changes to printing this time around, some good but a few issues have come up for me that I’m wondering if anyone else has looked at? On the positive side, there are a more printer features supported. On a test Xerox Altalink B8155 shared from CUPS 2.3.3, I get the following new / changed options: - Paper size: with a huge list of possible page sizes, including things like envelopes - Orientation: landscape or portrait - Media and quality: - Feed from => Auto, Tray 1 - 5 - Media Type => Auto, Card stock, Envelope, Labels, Letterhead, etc - Print Quality => Draft - Normal - Best - Finishing Options (Options like staple and hole punch move from a root level check box to a more detailed submenu) - Staple => None, Single (top left), Single (bottom left), Double (left), Double (top) - Punch = > None, Double (left), Double (top), Triple (left), Triple (top) - Output bins => Right, Auto, Center, Left Unfortunately, there are also a couple of issues: - Unlike previous versions of iOS, I don’t get asked for user name / password when I try to print. Instead I get a dialog saying: Account information required for “printer name” Enter the account information in the print options. I can’t find anywhere to enter these credentials though, so currently I cannot print. - With the new Paper size options, it doesn’t choose something like Letter as the default pages size. On a test Xerox Altalink B8155 it chooses an Envelope size, and an on a test Altalink C8055 it chooses B6. I can’t currently print so it may save this after the first time, but currently every time I go to the print dialog I have to redo this choice.
