Hello,
Honestly, you might be better off trying something like ubuntu. That script would require a lot of work to run effectively on CL.

It is not a good distro for beginners, and I’m not saying this to put you down or turn you away. I personally would not attempt that script unless I was in a tinkering mood. I use print servers and self-hosted cloud-based (RESTfull) print services myself.

Hi there,

I had similar problems with my printers and I am using a dockerized cupsd with a supported linux distribution as a base image now.

If you are not familiar with docker I could write a small tutorial.

Hi @MtlzncAsbrg

sorry that you have to wait.
I will post the tutorial when I get back from a vacation :grimacing:

For the time being you can have a look at:

That’s for a different printer but the steps should be similar.

Sorry again - I should be back in a week
