How to add my printer drivers?

peterlang-p commented 1 month ago

I resolved the missing driver issue by installing the driver directly within the Docker container. Here's how I did it:

  1. Start a shell in the Docker container:

    docker compose exec -T airprint sh

  2. Install the printer driver as recommended by the manufacturer (Brother, in my case), following the same steps as you would on a regular Ubuntu instance.

  3. After installation, the driver appeared in the selection when adding a new printer in CUPS.

This approach worked seamlessly for me and should help resolve the missing driver issue.
