Probably a good change in direction. Thanks for the info. I'll pursue it for interest's sake. > On Mon, 13 Dec 2021, Brian wrote: > > > On Sun 12 Dec 2021 at 18:11:55 +0000, Tim Woodall wrote: > > > > > I've installed brave-browser but it cannot print.

For a remote host with hostname HOSTNAME I'd expect a URI like this: ipps://HOSTNAME.local:631/printers/Samsung_SCX-4x25_Series Let's try setting up a print queue manually. Use 'ippfind -T 5' and '/usr/sbin/lpinfo -v' to obtain a URI from the remote host. Then a print queue with lpadmin -p PRINTER_NAME -v URI -E -m everywhere PRINTER_NAME can be what you want, for example, scxtest. Test with lp -d PRINTER_NAME /etc/nsswitch.conf and from Brave. -- Brian.
