First and most important problem: I miss a switch in the printer
settings to disable automatic detection and adding.
I have problems on the VM in the company, because after system startup
masses of printer messages appear and annoy me. I also have the problem
that I am no longer able to find the printer I would need in the whole
series of other unwanted printers. It would be easier if I only had to
use the default printer, but unfortunately this is not the case.
Another problem is adding a printer:
It is easy to obtain the IP address of the printer. In the Add dialog there is
a text in the search bar that says that I could insert an IP address. But that
doesn't work. I need to go to "additional printer settings". Here I can add an
IP address, but it must be an address starting with "ipp://"? Why do I have to
do this? IP address is IP address, The program should find the protocol that it
needs itself!
Then I have to choose HPLIB and two AppSocket.
For a printer that wasn't supported, I first had to enter the printer details
and scroll through a shitty long list of printers and research that a Cannon iR
is a Cannon Image Runner.
In the end I had to download a ppd file from canon. (This was an adventure of
its own, which has nothing to do with Linux). Now I have a printer that works
and has been renamed with special text to get it to the top of the big list of
unwanted printers in the system.
