I was mistaken about this. The Brother HL-L2390DW does support IPPS, i.e. IPP over TLS. However, it was not enabled by default, which is why avahi-browse didn't find it. This printer has an administrative web interface reachable via a web browser. You can log in and configure lots of features, including TLS support for IPP printer queues. I also learned that Debian has a lot of documentation regarding printing. The "driverless" printing looks especially promising: https://wiki.debian.org/DriverlessPrinting I've noticed that our package definition for cups-filters explicitly passes the "--disable-driverless" option at configure time, with comment that says "TODO: enable this". Perhaps I will try doing that and see if I can get Guix System printing over IPP just as nicely as PureOS. PureOS, or should I say Debian, has some other neat features built in, also. They're documented on the above page. For example, their CUPS is configured to automatically create (driverless) PPD files on the fly without requiring user interaction, which is really slick. See "Creating a Driverless Print Queue with cups-browsed" in the page linked above for details. On PureOS, I observed this automatic driverless PPD creation in action, and it just worked. It was quite impressive. I feel a little more optimistic after reading Debian's description of the future of driverless printing. As for getting my scanner to work, I think that's going to be a whole other can of worms... =2D-=20 Chris --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEy/WXVcvn5+/vGD+x3UCaFdgiRp0FAlyrEDIACgkQ3UCaFdgi Rp2KUQ/+JlxkTktR5liukU2KDS8WQt2tBL5teAguqfEJgPfmUztyzxqjKeLa84jN 6b6diYpwJeGN/9sGIT9GI6oH4mytt/CX7Ws6AV6XCQqNfhYaaf6wKCdBbECyjpSL 7fBWdPoNPhmIdxsyEUjItDSk4LUAOkYYfXXuNErfTRAEYhgOyrELFSSqMD9CwHFF XlhbwghBHE4rntl1LpAGrYkbC8Jfvi+p6WgMAFgpw1xZ/dNoyPz2rj/jBvYhg50M 2jFAkmtlp3kmkpGfmmsXF0Y43GPlED9TJbFRIXF59fuZU13BRKQ/SjL8of4Nk242 Q4qZVKBR622r9XBsTOPZZvKxUaQwKIXlCzMeo1pU0Lfu+E9RFWNz27V9ohrxe6jo c1J9oq+ii3FwDNRZK4eHt6I9SBBu+iVjtzvykwgootcNA8AO5GYGK6c1wseWzC2G YEVVFhHI6xvC9NgPWmh6kMtrdbDquk796BDYHkQ3ZXPZvkhH4B/Sq6/JF4CEG2sh 7geE6WfpZwjEwCHe2Niw4zG4YEIFh04ukczNdbJkLrvnEoDId1+KuA1TC6nl4zCC tmbkGS5aCGqmf2/YhB6D8SPM3qtxcvXsep6UvDHC8Elj9SnLZ6LwjfkFWEhfazyJ gl35Ss8RpbHgqRf3BWKw/PGhdsS2K1+S8Fxr3ihy/PmobuvQXM4= =PGfZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
