[SOLVED] Adding printer using lpadmin problem added printer paused

mickyjohn · 12-14-2022, 04:28 AM

Hi everyone, i am trying to add a printer using lpadmin command from terminal. Although the printer get added but is paused and can not be use for printing.

Tried commands:

Code:

lpadmin -p P-3045DN-Ent-V2-Airprint -v dnssd://P-3045DN-Ent-V2-Airprint%20%40%20Raspi._ipps._tcp.local./?uuid=a9885352-dd0f-3a15-44c3-1a04f131a90d -o printer-is-shared=false -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/Kyocera\ ECOSYS\ P3045dn.ppd 
lpadmin: Printer drivers are deprecated and will stop working in a future version of CUPS.

Code:

# cat /etc/cups/printers.conf
# Printer configuration file for CUPS v2.3.4

Using above commands add the printer but the status is always paused.

Working GUI:
If i try to add printer form GUI which works perfectly the printer.conf looks like
t

I have just been looking at this stuff in the Slackware forum, so some copy and paste from my end.
From local CUPS Help under "Printer Drivers and PPDs":

Quote:

The everywhere driver is used for nearly all modern networks printers sold since about 2009. For example, the following command creates a destination for a printer at IP address 11.22.33.44:

lpadmin -p printername -E -v ipp://11.22.33.44/ipp/print -m everywhere

You show as running CUPS v2.3.4, which does support IPP Everywhere, and your Kyocera ECOSYS P3045dn shows as supporting Apple Bonjour, so should work with IPP.

A suitable IPP URI is needed (the -v option). (This would typically be discovered by Multicast DNS and DNS Service Discovery if CUPS has avahi support when looking for network printers.) My quick web search has not shown any candidates, but ipp://10.53.33.232/ipp is worth a try.

You also have references to Raspi, which takes me into an area with which I am not familiar. Perhaps you could use nmap to perform discovery of the IPP URI

Thanks @allend. I have tried following but unfortunately the result is same, printer is added but the status is paused and can not be used for printing.

Code:

lpadmin -p P-3045DN-Ent-V2-Airprint -v ipp://10.53.33.232/ipp/P-3045DN-Entw-V2-Airprint -o printer-is-shared=false -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/Kyocera\ ECOSYS\ P3045dn.ppd -o auth-info-required=negotiate
lpadmin: Printer drivers are deprecated and will stop working in a future version of CUPS.

One detail was missing, the IP address is from CUPS server which has multiple printers, not directly from printer . Once one will be added sucessfully, i will add the remaining from terminal

allend · 12-14-2022, 07:14 AM

Code:

lpadmin -p P-3045DN-Ent-V2-Airprint -v ipp://10.53.33.232/ipp/P-3045DN-Entw-V2-Airprint -o printer-is-shared=false -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/Kyocera\ ECOSYS\ P3045dn.ppd -o auth-info-required=negotiate

Forget AirPrint, that is Apple specific.
You need the IP address of the printer.
That IPP URI looks bogus.
Drop the additional options.
Do not try to specify the .ppd file. It will be automatically generated in /etc/cups/ppd/.

KISS rule. Get it working with minimal options, then fine tune after.

@allend i have to add the printer using cups server IP not individual printer IP. When i add the print using GUI i also select the driver for the printer. Is there any way out to perform this from terminal ?Adding the printer is not problem it get listed but in paused state.

michaelk · 12-14-2022, 09:35 AM

Have you tried enabling the printer via the cupsenable utility?

mickyjohn · 12-15-2022, 08:59 AM

Tried:

Code:

lpadmin -p P-3045DN-Ent-V2-Airprint -v socket://10.53.33.232:631 -o printer-is-shared=false  -o auth-info-required=none  -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/Kyocera\ ECOSYS\ P3045dn.ppd

Unfortunately still added printer is in Pause status and can not be use for printing.

Log says:

Code:

Further tried now: $

Code:

 lpadmin -p P-3045DN-Ent-V2-Airprint -E -v socket://10.53.33.232:631 -o printer-is-shared=false  -o auth-info-required=none  -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/Kyocera\ ECOSYS\ P3045dn.ppd

I guess there is something missing or extra in command.

Is the printer installed and working on the CUPS server? Is this printer connected as part of LAN or directly to the CUPS server?

mickyjohn · 12-19-2022, 01:54 AM

yes the printer is installed and the correct way of adding dns-ssd printer using Terminal is ipp.

For those that are still struggling with this and may run accross this thread, using the -E flag worked for me in my case. It's already being used in the snippets posted in this thread, but it can be a little hard to parse if you have a squirell brain like myself and maybe didn't notice the flag being used.
