Bug#1008997: further information

[Till Kamppeter]

First step is to go to

http://www.openprinting.org/

There you scroll down and find a link to the "Driverless Printers" list. 
Click "Browse". You get onto


https://openprinting.github.io/printers/

into the search field enter "Envy 553". The last digit does not matter. 
Different last digits usually only mean different power plugs for the 
different destination countries.


So your printer supports AirPrint, one of the driverless IPP standards.

Your printer's Wi-Fi is flaky, so use IPP-over-USB. Keep the printer 
connected to USB and install the "ipp-usb" package. Having done this 
your printer should appear already in the print dialogs of many 
applications.


If not, create a driverless print queue:

First, run

driverless

You will get an URI for your printer, most probably

ipp://localhost:6/ipp/print

Create a driverless queue with this URI:

lpadmin -p envy -E -v ipp://localhost:6/ipp/print -m everywhere

Now all your apps should show your printer with queue name "envy". Can 
you print on this queue?


   Till

P. S.: Avoid HPLIP if you do not REALLY need it.

here are the responses to your questions , Bryan potkin :


yes, I am on unstable sid.
Its great strength is that its packages are constantly evolving. 
Unfortunately, this is also sometimes its great weakness.


My printer is the hp envy 5536 that I use in USB. The wifi, on this 
printer, works particularly badly. (design errors ?)


Thank you very much for your help.

friendly.
respectfully.
