Hi Gene,

The reports from you, myself and Hans (and the lack of complaints from 
non-fax-printer users) seem to suggest the problem affects only fax-capable 
printers.  This remains to be seen in Sophie's case, but I wait with interest.

The conversation seemed to drift towards a printer problem, but I think there 
are other possibilities, and barring that, I hope and imagine there are 
solutions for Sophie's printer as there have been for ours.

I do wish the upstream bug report would get some response, and that Debian 
would consider a cups update given that there are no such issues in Ubuntu's 
cups 2.4, though there's more to be considered of course.  I think it's a 
serious breakage that got worse in the recent Bullseye update.  If 
auto-detected/created queues used IPP Everywhere (which seems to work 
flawlessly) it wouldn't be such an issue, but it's a showstopper for 
inexperienced users, not to mention some more experienced ones!

Best wishes,
Gareth
