Unable to create PPD file: Could not poll sufficient capability info from the printer #600

I am getting this error today, reported in 2020 #308.

Probably since one of last updates of packages.

I use Arch. The printer worked until recently, no issues. Even tested occasionally by removing it and adding it back.

I think it happened since the update with the recent CUPS security issue.

The error comes when I select from the list of drivers the one with XP 8700 driverless.

I selected IPP Everywhere, and I managed to add the printer, and seems to work fine.
