Shared printer could not be added on Windows 11 (always "connecting") due to numeric InputSlot #197

Closed ValdikSS closed 5 months ago

ValdikSS commented 5 months ago

Windows 11 has a bug in Mopria implementation which prevents adding and using printer if auto-discovered printer reports a number (a digit as a string) in media-source-supported IPP field.

Brlaser PPD file reports 0-5 InputSlot, which causes the issue.

* apple/cups#6020: "connecting" on windows 11 for brother printer, CUPS for windows or Samba? * OpenPrinting/cups#859: Windows 11 does not like integers in media-source-supported field * Reported to MS using Feedback Hub.

Sorry, I was wrong: InputSlot is not numeric in a compiled PPD. This issue is invalid for brlaser.
