[Solved] Unable to print to CUPS server

I've an unusual situation I am hoping someone can help me with.

I've a server running Ubuntu 22.04. Patched as of 2 days ago. It runs CUPS 2.4.1. Attached to it is an HP LaserJet 1505p. It can self print without issue from the CUPS UI.

I've a macos laptop that can print to the printer via CUPS without issue.

I have a 7 month old framework laptop running Arch and it will not print to the printer.

Laptop in question: Kernel 6.9.6-arch1-1, KDE Plasma 6.1.0, Wayland. No other issues.

I've tried using hp-setup but it will not launch the GUI (I suspect QT6 isn't supported yet?). I use the interactive tool and it cannot detect any network printers.

I can create a connection via the KDE printer settings and set up a printer. I use the same printer driver (name) that is used in the Ubuntu server set up. When I attempt to test print the CUPS server shows the state as stopped 'Filter failed'.

I've tried a few different variations of the printer driver, but I went back to the one that matches the other system.

I enabled debug mode on the CUPS server. Here is the error.log output.

Re: [Solved] Unable to print to CUPS server

"Use Generic IPP Everywhere Printer driver on the client. When selecting the driver in the CUPS Web Interface, you should find it in the Generic manufacturer."

That was it! Thank you!
