Owners of old printers will have to buy a new one to be able to print their documents??\n\n__HELL NO!!__\n\nThat's why I've made this project, to allow end-users to be able to install their old printers without having to pass a complete night to debug everything and finally make it work without really knowing how 😅\n\n## Required tools\n\nIn order to be able to run the script or simply debug things by yourself, you will need the following commands:\n\n* `lpstat`\n* `lpinfo`\n* `lpadmin`\n\nOptionally, if you have `avahi` enabled and want to use it, you will then need these commands:\n\n* `avahi-browse`\n* `driverless`\n\nYou can install them with the following packages:\n\n* `cups` or `cups-client`\n* `avahi-utils` (if using `avahi`)\n\nIf you want to see the network packets exchanged between your computer and your printer, you will also need to install the `tcpdump` package.\n\nHere is an example command:\n\n```console\n$ sudo tcpdump -Xvni any \"port 5353 or port 631 or port 9001\"\n```\n\n## References\n\n* https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS\n* https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS/Printer-specific_problems\n* https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS/Troubleshooting\n* https://github.com/OpenPrinting/cups-sharing/issues/4\n* https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSDriverlessPrinting\n* https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSIPPEverywhere\n* https://www.pwg.org/ipp/everywhere.html\n* https://github.com/apple/cups/issues/5088\n* https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Avahi\n* https://github.com/lathiat/nss-mdns\n\n## Author\n\n* __Jiab77__","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjiab77%2Fippes","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjiab77%2Fippes","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjiab77%2Fippes/lists"}
