Hi, my printer app exposes printer-more-info (uri) =http://127.0.0.1:8142/Brother_TD-2020_(USB)/ to cups, but in the web interface, I can not find any link pointing to this uri. I think this is a bit confusing for users, as they only see/use the operating systems printer settings dialog, which points to http://localhost:631 , but from there they do not get to the printers own page, where may settings/information not exposed via IPP (always on, reconfiguration of generic buttons, phonebook etc.) are offered. I would suggest either: print dialog -> cups webpage -> printer webpage print dialog : -> printer webpage : -> cups webpage BR Armin
