4 years ago @tillkamppeter Calling driverless does not work correctly for me:
driverless: symbol lookup error: driverless: undefined symbol: get_printer_attributes_logEdit: see how I built it: https://gist.github.com/Esokrates/96a96c555e85aa50ec48f5b9d848e640 Ubuntu 19.10 is fully upgraded, no third party packages.
Edit2: Before compiling master, ie with the default ubuntu packages, the output was as following:
user@computer:~$ driverless
ipp://AE8C5A000000.local:631/ipp/printer
user@computer:~$ driverless ipp://AE8C5A000000.local:631/ipp/printer
ERROR: Unable to create PPD file: Printer does not support required IPP attributes or document formats.

but it still prints the small testpage, so there seems to be a bug.
However when printing other documents, the scaling is right :-). The margins are too big (not dramatically, but 1 cm off for sure) though and there is no option to configure that unfortunately. When printing a normal A4 pdf page, the bottom is cropped off, so I have to select "shrink to fit" and then the margins are too big.
I use Print Setting (system-config-printer) in order to add printers.
When I try to add my printer by automatic detection, it just fails with "server-error-internal-error". Normally, it should add my printer and use driverless for printing. This GUI tool always chooses driverless by default when you use automatic detection; it doesn't let you choose between driverless and something else.
It worked perfectly with previous of cups-filters, including 1.18.0 and 1.19.0. I got this issue when I updated to 1.20.0. I could add my printer and use driverless for it with previous versions of cups-filters.
A workaround I found in order to add my printer with system-config-printer is to manually add the printer, then manually select Gutenprint. Trying to add the printer manually with driverless instead of Gutenprint results in the same error I get when I try to add it by automatic detection.
Trying to add the printer with the Web interface (localhost:631) using driverless ends up with an error too : "unable to add error : unable to copy PPD file." However, adding the printer with the Web interface using Gutenprint works fine.
Here's a typical log output from /var/log/cups/error_log I get when I try to add my printer with driverless in general.
Hope you can do something about it.
