Cannot add Lexmark printer MC3224

General Discussion

On the Gnome UI setting, the UI can detect my Lexmark printer after scanning the local network. The UI lists three names: JetDirect-Printer, LPD-Printer and Lexmark-MC3200. After choosing the Lexmark-MC3200, a new window appeared and showed: “Failed add new printer.”

Then, I download the driver from Lexmark MC3224dwe. and extract the rpm file using rpm2cpio ~/Lexmark-AEY-PPD-Files-1.0-06182019.x86_64 | cpio -idmv.
The I run lpadmin -p Lexmark_MC3224dwe -v socket://xx.xx.x.xx -P /home/user/Downloads/usr/local/Lexmark/ppd/Lexmark-AEY-PPD-Files/GlobalPPD_1.4/Lexmark_MC3200_Series.ppd. Then, a new printer entry appears on the Gnome printer setting.
However, the status is stopped. and triggering a print test doesn’t trigger the printer.
This is the output of journalctl -u cupsd:

How can I fix this ipp job error?

Thanks in advance!

I too have the similar problem. I am not able to install my Brother printer – A printer that is recognized by all other distros. For some reason, the USB port which has the printer plugged, is not looked at by CL.

perhaps try reporting a bug on github

@cleart , There are several repos. In which repo shall I report the bug regarding the printer/CUPS?
@Leslie_Satenstein if I compare the content of /etc/cups/ with Ubuntu 21.04, the folder doesn’t have cupsd.conf und cups-files.conf. In Ubuntu, a group called lpadmin and a user lp exist, which are related to the cupsd.
These are the active process on my Ubuntu21:

root        1317  0.0  0.0  81508 12216 ?        Ss   09:08   0:00 /usr/sbin/cupsd -l
root        1330  0.0  0.0 179844 12276 ?        Ssl  09:08   0:00 /usr/sbin/cups-browsed
lp          1906  0.0  0.0  16552  5280 ?        S    09:09   0:00 /usr/lib/cups/notifier/dbus dbus://

I copied the config files and adapt the user and group name in cups-file.conf causes a cupsd failure: cupsd.service: Start request repeated to quickly. Failed with result exit-code.
