Have you tried installing CUPS ? And setting up your printer using the web UI ? Worked for me perfectly for every printer I threw at it.

I could not get CUPS working in a docker container for the life of me. So now I have a stupid little CUPS server.

It does work great, even though it feels like they finished dev in 2003 and never revisited it.

Why docker and not a normal package ?

[–] DomoPANTS 1 points 1 year ago

Because my main server is running UnRAID and most things are ran in containers. I could probably do it in a VM, but it seemed like more of a hassle and it might have the same discovery issue the container had. Throwing it in an old dying server as a package is what I ended up doing, but I'm not happy about it. 😅
