So what to do now? On my android device, I installed a mopria

printing to

enabled printers (like mine). According to articles I found cups
should just
detect it as available network printers. So I tried it. kde
printer config
and system-config-printers both detect nothing as available network
printers.
Mopria app on my android detects it just fine. Both connected to
same wifi.
Debian has a decent document on CUPS Driverless Printing

https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSDriverlessPrinting#The_Concept_of_Driverless_...
Driverless printing was designed for mobile devices that might encounter
many different printers so could not afford the overhead of setting up
individual
printers. The compromise is to have a small set of capabilities that
was easy
for all the printer vendors to support. I have a Mopria certified
printer from
Canon that usually works with my wife's IOS devices, but on my desktop
I use
the CUPS/Gutenprint PPD for the Mopria printer. Some documents fail
using
Mopria but do print from Fedora or Adobe Acrobat on Windows.
Any ideas how to debug this and/or fix it?
Does the printer appear using "avahi-browse -all | grep Printer"?
Mine shows
up as both "Internet Printer" and "UNIX Printer".
My Mopria-capable printer didn't appear using the Gnome tool in Fedora
31,
but CUPS Admin <
http://localhost:631/> gave me two options: Gutenprint
and another that didn't
use Gutenprint. I thought that might not provide the full capabilities
so went
with Gutenprint.

I've got another thread on this list around trying to set
up my Google
Cloud Printer in cups where at the moment I've been unable to activate
Google Cloud Printing in cups. I'm using Fedora 30 in a VM under Windows
10. In Windows 10 I have my network connected printer installed as a
network printer and I also have a Google Cloud Printer in the printer
device list, but cups doesn't see either as a network printer. I've
installed a Goople Cloud Connector service for cups to use but so far I
have been unable to get the service to start. Cups also doesn't seem to
want to work with the url supplied by Google Cloud Printing, so I'm
struggling to get the interface working. I'm using the Vmware Player to
provide the VM's and it is indicating that printing uses the serial
interface I think it said. I'm not sure if that is contributing the
issues either.
regards,
Steve
