this is interesting Brian, but how do I adapt it to my brother

Right. M234 is the name assigned previously. You get the URI(s) of
available printer(s) by running the program driverless. E.g.:
root@dragon:~# driverless
ipps://HP%20LaserJet%20MFP%20M234sdw%20(C0FB67)._ipps._tcp.local/
root@dragon:~#
Then feed that into:
lpadmin -p M234 -v "URI" -E -m everywhere
But edit in a better (for you) name for the printer than M234.
You might get away with something like:
lpadmin -p heskett.printer -v "$(driverless)" -E -m everywhere
but I haven't experimented with that.
And the only printer that shows in the driverless output:
ipp://Brother%20MFC-J6920DW._ipp._tcp.local/
is I believe the only one of 3 references to that physical printer in
cups, that does not work, it ignores the tray selection passed. That is
an expen$ive lack.
Thanks Charles.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
