(Get the code!)
First and most importand Issue: I miss a switch in the printer settings to disable automatic detection and adding.
On VM in the company I have Problems, becuase after Systemstart masses of Printermessages appear and annoy me. Also I have the Problem that I'm not anymore able to detect the Printer I need in the whole bunch of other unwanted Printers. It would be more easy if I had to use only the standard Printer but that's not the case.
Also the Problem is to add a Printer:
It's easy to get the Printer IP address. But in the add Dialog there is a text in the search bar which says I could insert an IP addres. But this do not work. I have to go to Additional Printer settings. there could I add an IP address but it has to bee an address starting with "ipp://" ?? Why do I have to do something like that. IP-Adrress is IP-Address, detect your protocol and what ever yourself!
After that I have to descide for HPLIB and two AppSocket what ever.
For a Prnter which was not suported I had to enter at first the Printer details and scroll through a shitty long list of printers and had to research that a "Cannon iR" is a "Cannon Image Runner".
At the End i had to download a ppd File from canon. (That was an adventure on it's own that has nothing to do with Linux). Now I have a Printer that work and renamed with Special text to get it at the top of the Big list of unwanted Printers in the system.
