The administration dropdown should be the rightmost box in the status screen for the printer you selected in step 4. It should be just to the right of the dropdown "Maintenance" box and should look like "Administration v" (the "v" representing a downward pointing arrow...sorry for the bad ASCII art). > This concerns an Epson printer attached by usb cable to an iMac. > I use it mostly for photo printing from MacOS (Mojave). > > I wanted to test the quality of the Epson Linux print drivers > under Fedora on my Linux PC.

That's possible. In the status page at step 4, it should show how the printer is (supposedly) connected to your system. If the "Connection" bit has "dnssd:" in it, then it's typically a network (possibly wireless) connection via Bonjour/Avahi. If it has "usb:" in it, it's a direct USB connection, "hp:" indicates an HP JetDirect or hplip network connection, etc. If the printer shows up in CUPS, you SHOULD be able to delete that connection. Note that this would ONLY affect the connection between the Fedora machine and the printer, not the printer itself or any external server it's connected to. Now, if the printer is physically connected to the iMac, then the iMac has to act as a print server (a.k.a. spooler) for the printer and you'd need to have the iMac export the print service for the printer. Then you would get Fedora to look for a "network printer" to use it. If the printer has networking capabilities (e.g. wifi), then you should be able to get at it directly over the network. Again, it'd be a network printer, probably using dnssd (Bonjour/Avahi). If you use the iMac print server, I'm not sure how the iMac would export the printer (IPP, Bonjour, something else perhaps). Perhaps an Apple aficionado here could help. I have an AirBook but rarely use it and certainly never as a print server. -- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigitalri...@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - -- - Careful!

This concerns an Epson printer attached by usb cable to an iMac. I use it mostly for photo printing from MacOS (Mojave). I wanted to test the quality of the Epson Linux print drivers under Fedora on my Linux PC. I did not have a long enough usb cable and I didn't want to lug around the PCs. As both PCs are attached to my router by usb cables I turned on the iMac and the printer and then managed to install the printer in Fedora using Cups. The print quality was not as good from Fedora as from MacOS so goodbye Epson drivers, no more printing from Fedora. Could the problem at 5) have been some "Apple" quirk or because the printer was not any longer attached to Fedora or because I had forgotten about Cups and 'removed' the printer from Gnome menu and deleted drivers.

There is no need to "manually" add the connection in Network Manager. Network Manager has an "import" function which will do things for you. One thing it does is put the certs in the proper location.
