Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

Heya, I am currently using Manjaro, but this has to stop. I want to go vanilla arch or - if that will not work - go to EndevourOS, but going vanilla just seems.... better?
So my Manjaro Install has quite some apps, settings and so on accumulated over the years, and I have either mimicked it under Arch or replaced it with something better.
And I did the same with my Laptop, and with wife's computer. And my test machine.
The only thing that is left not working is adding printers. And with adding I mean "just use the KDE dialog, search for your printer, select the correct model, correct driver, be happy" - this is what I expect from a modern Distribution. Of copurse not ootb, I know I have to prepare the system(s), but when preperation is done it should work that way. This is easily doable under Manjaro with their printer package and whatever undocumented stuff they do under the hood. This ie repeatable under EOS with the following prerequisites:

  1. Install Manjaro driver package - to be more precise: the packages in this meta package: https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/ext … r/PKGBUILD - this part includes setting up cups service(s)

  2. Install Avahi and make mdns work for .local: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Avahi# … resolution

  3. Add user to group sys

And that's that. At least under Manjaro and EOS, so it is definitely doable under Arch - at least that's my assumption. One can test the success via avahi: 

avahi-browse --all --ignore-local --resolve --terminate

I tried to achieve the same under Arch, unfortunately to no avail. I get to the point where I have found and selected the printer, found and selected the driver and just have to actually add the printer via "save" - and then I get an cups internal server error (when trying to do via printer manager) or just the settings page without saved printer (KDE settings manager). The logs of CUPS (with loglevel debug) give quite some hint what's wrong here, first a succesfull log from EOS:

And then the Arch counterpart, which immediately shows the suspected root cause:

D [11/Jul/2023:19:53:21 +0200] cupsdSetBusyState: newbusy="Active clients and dirty files", busy="Dirty files"

So the difference starts with "No authentication data provided." and concludes with "Get-Printer-Attributes client-error-not-found: The printer or class does not exist." which just makes no sense because it is existing. This error can be repeated with another printer (in this case a canon one) with exact the same behaviour, which further gives hint to something missing on the Arch side.
Some information about the Arch system: Minimal install, just Arch with sddm sddm-kcm plasma-desktop dolphin konsole nano as a ground to start from, then backupped and then continuing with the printer packages and configs. No additional stuff (yet) because I concentrate on printing.
My bet would be a permission thingy, I checked polkit rules but this is beyond my knowledge currently, so I need some help.

Any further ideas what makes printer magic actual... magic?

Re: Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

For many network printers the easiest way to set them up is to make them driverless printers.  You could try what I do to set my printer up in a very simple one line command as in the post at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p2096546

Of course you need cups installed, and you didn't say which printer you have (though I assume from your quoted log output that it is EPSON_WF-4830_Series). But this has worked for me for some years. You do need the local network address for the printer too of course. I initially access the printer via its admin interface, and allow it to set its ip address via dhcp, and my local LAN has its own dhcp server, which means I can assign the printer the same address every time it is switched on.  The other way to do it is to use the printer's admin interface to set a fixed address if you do not have your own dhcp server to assign local addresses.

I checked and your printer does appear to support driverless printing at the list in https://openprinting.github.io/printers/

Re: Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

This aint a network issue. I use my own DHCP server including unbound with DNS overrides, I can access my printer under IP, printer.milkytwix.local and printer (because milkytwix.local is in the domain's searchlist, more specific the DNS server) AND on top it has a fixed IP. But the main argument that this is not a network issue is: It is working with the specific printer under Manjaro and EOS. And it is also not a printer issue, because I tested with two more printers (one is the spoken of canon printer, the other one an older epson) - behaviour is the same.
The part "select driver" gives also the option to select "driverless", connect via IP and select the "driverless driver" and voila:

So basically the same.
It is still missing the auth information so no added printer - what's going on here? Because - and that's the funny part - your actual solution IS working:
sudo lpadmin -p Epson_WF_4830 -E -v "ipp://printer.milkytwix.local/ipp/print" -m everywhere
And voila, there it is, in all it's glory... So the question is: Why is the convinient way not working?
Next up will be: checking which prerequisites are needet - I want to keep my Arch as lean as possible...

Re: Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

KDE and gnome printer config applets often cause more issues then they solve and many archlinux users consider the cups webinterface (localhost:631) the "convenient way"

Was your attempt in #3 with that interface ?

Are you using systemd-resolved ?

So, finally had some time to get back to this prionting topic.
First of all: If I have a gui for something, that gui should work. If forks are able to achieve it, Arch definately should be able to mimick that. I have high expectations for linux on the desktop in 23 - and this expectations are met with Manjaro and EOS. Arch chould be not less sophisticated.
Yeah, I use systemd-resolved - the installation with which I test is very vanilla, very stock, no "custom" things or such. Otherwise it wouldn't me comparable, which is hard enough.
My experience with cups after installation of only cups, adding local user to group sys and starting the cups daemon thingy (service, socket, path) is very mediocre. It detects my printer correctly, but the driver should be added manually, which is like.... are we in the year 2000?
It is asking if I have a 9-pin series or 24-pin series model to select the driver, which is both wrong, which leads to me canceling the try, because thios is the opposite of "convenient", this is rubbish.
I then enable and start Avahi Daemon, still to no avail:

Add Printer EPSON_WF-4830_Series_ Error

Unable to add printer:
cups-driverd failed to get PPD file - see error_log for details.

And the details:

CGI] Unable to create PPD file: Could not poll sufficient capability info from the printer (ipps://EPSON%20WF-4830%20Series._ipps._tcp.local/, ipps://EPSONWF4830.local:631/ipp/print) via IPP!

Yeah, I know, mDNS local resolution... That should solve the issue.... shouldn't it? Spoiler: It aint:

E [15/Jul/2023:19:58:18 +0200] [CGI] Unable to create PPD file: Could not poll sufficient capability info from the printer (ipps://EPSON%20WF-4830%20Series._ipps._tcp.local/, ipps://EPSONWF4830.local:631/ipp/print) via IPP!

And that's the point where I say to myself "Screw you, cups, you are even worse than KDE printing dialog or native printing manager...
Nevertheless I give it the whole treatment, so: adding everything in manjaro printer.
And well... same same:

[15/Jul/2023:19:54:32 +0200] [Client 31] Returning IPP server-error-internal-error for CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer (ipp://localhost/printers/EPSON_WF-4830_Series_) from localhost.

E [15/Jul/2023:19:58:18 +0200] copy_model: empty PPD file

So not working at all. For whatever reason given Arch is way less convinient than Manjaro or EndevourOS. Without the hint of mcloaked I would have no solution under Arch, which is quite a bummer.

There must still be something udner the hood of Manjaro and EOS which I still cannot get...

Re: Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

Some things to check :

For clarity : this printer is connected through network ?

In order to discover network printers, cups needs avahi. Without it running auto-discovery normally fails.

You did look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Avahi# … om_working to verify systemd-resolved is not interfering with avahi ?

If I have a gui for something, that gui should work. If forks are able to achieve it, Arch definately should be able to mimick that.

Archlinux derivatives often configure many things so it works out of the box for most people. Archlinux users are expected to decide how they want those things to be configured and do it themselves. This could be one of those things.


Personal sidenote :

If I have a gui for something, that gui should work.

My experience is that most GUIs don't work or at best severely limit what you can do with them. If both gui and cli control interfaces are available, the cli control tends to be more usable then the gui.

Re: Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

So the question is: Why is the convinient way not working?

So the difference starts with "No authentication data provided."

sudo lpadmin

You lack permissions to add the printer and the inconvenient tool didn't ask you or you ignored  or didn't see that.
Possibly because you don't have a polkit agent running.
Does the webinterface ask you to authorize as root?

And try to restrict your answer to the part that's not a fucking novel.

I checked that several times, I don't know acutally to check it the "correct" way.
I installed bind to get the "host" command and then fired it up:

[root@VMArchBase ~]# host -t SOA local
Host local not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

If that was the way to got then this ain't an Avahi issue - which would have come as a surprise to me, as it is setup and started same way as under EOS and Manjaro.

I bet it is - to make on thing clear, once and for all: My problem is my limited knowledge and experience! Layer 8 issue, error between chair and keyboard! But if the otther distros get this done, I want that, too!

I made similar experiences, and for me that is kinda okay - but not for the other peoples in my household wink

Well, I thought that I solved that by adding my user to the group "Sys"? At least that solved the permissions problems under EOS and Manjaro. So Arch is it doing differently here - how?
On top of that, my local user is in the group wheel.
But I think you pointed me in the right direction: If I auth to cups webinterface as root-user I can then add a printer succesfully - so progress made.
I will try to get the polkit thing to work, but why is it necessary when I am in the group sys?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Avahi#Tools
Does the printer show up?

Well, I thought that I solved that by adding my user to the group "Sys"?

"sys", not "Sys", capitalization matters.

id

The cups web interface asks me to athorize and I can either use the root account or my own (I'm in the wheel but not in the sys group, afaiu the cups doc, both should™ work, though)

Polkit apparently requires some extra step, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS#A … _PolicyKit and I bet your right arm that whatever extra GUI you're using relies on that.

Re: Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

Yeah, printer shows up fine in Avahi, and yes, it is "sys" - there ain't no group Sys on my system, was just a typo. This where btw points 2 and 3 of my OP. I am as well member of group wheel, and as third group my "own" user group.
I tried to follow the linked wiki article, but to no avail - I still get the error: [Client 1] No authentication data provided.)
I am a bit lost here. Don't know where to look elsewhere to make this work. Once I added the printer via lpadmin everything via GUI is fine - I can manage the printer, set and change default options, even removing it - but I cannot add it. Well, fair enough, I think. I just add the "lpadmin" line to my "after install bashscript" to every computer and be good. But this feels like I have lost the game "Arch" here. Bit frustrated...

Thank you very much for your patience, I owe you a cold brewed one!

Re: Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

For sure - it is requesting "Authentication is needed to run '/usr/bin/ls' as the super user".
In the meantime (me being stubborn and sucking at giving up) I checked all the pk files (/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d and /etc/polkit-1/rules.d) both on a Manjaro System as well as an EOS system and couldn't observe anything printer like.
I as well checked /usr/share/polkit-1/actions on both systems, again to no avail.

I don't want to give up my fream of a fully working VERY lean Arch with KDE. I never thought that the printing will be the show stopper, not after I achieved BTRFS grub snapshots, semi automated installation without archinstall, minimal KDE, and so on and so on - bit frustrated sad

That's the (broken) built in not-agent, you want to get a dialog popping up.

Re: Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode and while I'w not sure what a "modern" way is or why that would matter, the last thing the board needs is to encourage to post more images.

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … t-manager/ optionally depends on https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … g-printer/ which optionally depends on https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … pk-helper/

Do you have those packages?

[15/Jul/2023:19:54:32 +0200] [Client 31] Returning IPP server-error-internal-error for CUPS-Add-Modify-Printer (ipp://localhost/printers/EPSON_WF-4830_Series_) from localhost.
E [15/Jul/2023:19:58:18 +0200] [CGI] Unable to create PPD file: Could not poll sufficient capability info from the printer (ipps://EPSON%20WF-4830%20Series._ipps._tcp.local/, ipps://EPSONWF4830.local:631/ipp/print) via IPP!
E [15/Jul/2023:19:58:18 +0200] copy_model: empty PPD file

So not working at all. For whatever reason given Arch is way less convinient than Manjaro or EndevourOS. Without the hint of mcloaked I would have no solution under Arch, which is quite a bummer.

There must still be something udner the hood of Manjaro and EOS which I still cannot get...

I think cups' ipp-everywhere query is unable to automatically create a ppd. This happens with some printers. In this case, you might have better luck using driverless like so:

driverless ipp://192.168.1.39/ipp/print > xerox.ppd

Give the ppd a quick look to see if it seems sane (no need to know exact syntax), and then just input this ppd from the cups interface. Alternatively, you can use the command:

lpadmin -p xerox -v ipp://192.168.1.39/ipp/print -E -m driverless:ipp://192.168.1.39/ipp/print

to directly add the printer from the command line.

Thanks, I totally missed that, and because of the spelling typo in success it doesn't even show up in search smile

Do you have those packages?

All of those are installed:

Re: Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

But it doesn't ask you to authorize?
Run 

dbus-monitor

and see whether that printer dialog wants to talk to anything - and what.

https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?produc … esolution=---
There're two bugs w/ "Cannot add printer via GUI.", do you also get a "forbdden" message?
(There're also plenty of other bugs, it seems)

To avoid a regular d'oohhh…: you have been using this very print config GUI on manjaro (ideally the same version)?
It looks this thing replaced something that existed before?

Can you authorize w/ your user credentials in localhost:631 btw?

What exactly does not ask me to authorize when?
When I use the KDE-Dialog there is no request for credentials in any case. This is the same with EOS and Manjaro.
When I use Print-Settings GUI it is the same.
When I use CUPS via browser (localhost:631) I authenticate for Administration. From there on it goes two ways:
Authenticate as user: Adding the printer works, using it does not. When I try to print test page I got the error "Unable to locate printer "EPSONWF4830.local"."
Authenticate as root: Same experience, same result.

I have never come to a "forbidden", it is just not working - empty result in most dialogs, "internal server error" in cups dialog.
The versions on EOS and Arch are the same, Manjaro packages as well, with the exception of cups-pk-helper, which is not installed on Manjaro.

How I should interprete what's going on in the dbus-monitor is beyond my knowledge - this is the output:

Re: Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

Authenticate as user: Adding the printer works, using it does not. When I try to print test page I got the error "Unable to locate printer "EPSONWF4830.local"."

Means mdns doesn't work or you added some nonsense as printer.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CUPS/T … te_printer and post your /etc/nsswitch.conf /etc/mdns.allow and the output of 

resolvectl status
find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

Re: Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

nsswitch.conf is the same as in Manjaro and EOS, but mdns.allow is non-existent - same with the other two operating systems. I didn't create one because i AM in a .local TLD, hence minimal mdns should work - shouldn't it?

cat /etc/nsswitch.conf 

# Name Service Switch configuration file.
# See nsswitch.conf(5) for details.

I use a local DNS on 10.10.0.1, where do this fallback servers come from? I certainly don't want any fallback DNS servers in my network...

It is working within the same network, within the same nsswitch.conf with the other two distros. sad

Re: Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

I use a local DNS on 10.10.0.1, where do this fallback servers come from?

systemd-resolved, hardcoded.

If you configure the printer w/ its IP (10.10.0.15), not the avahi domain, does it work?

Regardless of anything else, try to apply https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Avahi# … om_working

Finally:

[root@VMArchBase ~]# host -t SOA local

Is arch a virtual machine? Are the other OS? What's the host?

Re: Adding network printer does not work on fresh Arch install

Okay, hardcoded stuff like this makes me..... nervous. I can fully understand that the OS must somehow get it's DNS solution working, but using google as a fallback is.... undesirable.

The current "machine" I am using is a VM inside a Manjaro Host (the system which is meant to be replaced...), but once in while or when I do some "progress" I boot my test machine to check if it is virtualization related. Which currently means "after every of your posts that makes me install or configure something" - which I am grateful for!
So, probing around: inside VM, really testing something: inside VM followed by a second test on hardware. VM network is set to "bridged" so that I am inside the network as a seperate entity, not NAT from the host.
I just booted it up, added mdns.allow and repeated all my tests to verify that VM and testmachine stay the same, result wise.

NXDOMAIN check:

[root@VMArchBase ~]# host -t SOA local
Host local not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

Regarding configuring the printer with the IP instead of the domain name: I honestly don't know how. Getting back from where I came from: I search for network printers in the respective GUI dialog, and here I always had something to chose from - either the name of the printer with info under connections as IPP or go the driverless way, where I had to use the IP - both are not working in the same manner. This is tested with KDE dialog as well as system dialog. The only way to chose seems to be via directly triggering lpadmin - at least that I am aware of.

Edit: Forgot to mention - ofc added mdns.allow, rebootet to be sure everythings "new and shiny", and rtetested via KDE, systemdialog and cups, to no avail sad
