Hi All, Fedora 38 cups-2.4.7-1.fc38.x86_64 cups-lpd-2.4.7-1.fc38.x86_64 My old printer broke, so I had to replace it. I removed the old printer from cups and added the new printer. I set the new printer to network share (and it does over LPD). /etc/printcap: # This file was automatically generated by cupsd(8) from the # /etc/cups/printers.conf file. All changes to this file # will be lost. HLL2300D|HLL2300D:rm=server.acme.local:rp=HLL2300D: Cups-PDF|Cups-PDF:rm=server.acme.local:rp=Cups-PDF: "Cups-PDF" shows in the Windows 10 "add printer" dialog, but my new HLL2300D does not. I have cups-lpd installed, so I just did a manual create port lpr and my new printer works fine from Windows 10. But, why can Windows 10's "Add Printer" dialog find it? (I have reboot my machine, no difference.) Yes, I know, Cup-PDF won't actually work from Windows From my /etc/cups/printers.conf <Printer Cups-PDF> PrinterId 4 UUID urn:uuid:8d86be01-61b0-3452-6e91-ee3dcc9adb2b Info Cups-PDF Location acme.com MakeModel Generic CUPS-PDF Printer (no options) DeviceURI cups-pdf:/ State Idle StateTime 1669234555 ConfigTime 1698531817 Type 8450124 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </Printer> <DefaultPrinter HLL2300D> PrinterId 15 UUID urn:uuid:19a617e6-961d-36e7-6618-e6d37a74bd43 Info HLL2300D Location acme.com MakeModel Brother HL-L2300D for CUPS DeviceURI usb://Brother/HL-L2300D%20series?serial=U63878H3N412319 State Idle StateTime 1698529904 ConfigTime 1698485181 Type 8425492 Accepting Yes Shared Yes JobSheets none none QuotaPeriod 0 PageLimit 0 KLimit 0 OpPolicy default ErrorPolicy stop-printer </DefaultPrinter> Perplexed, -T -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Computers are like air conditioners.
