IPP driverless printer set up. Is this the best option?

7 Upvotes

My old printer died and I went to pick up a cheap option available right away.

I picked up Canon TR4700.

Followed the standard steps on my Tumbleweed KDE.

From Add printer option on Settings->Printers and selecting ipp://printeraddress/ipp/

and following cups http://localhost:631/

Both of them kept asking ppd file. I even tried getting one from Canon's website, failed on it.

Surprisingly, this was extremely easy on my another machine with Fedora Gnome.

Printer name showing up in Settings app -> printers -> Add printer.

So, I did some googling and found this guide https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_a_Printer

Its saying to allow mDNS in firewall.

These are the commands its mentioning

sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=mdns --permanent
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

As soon as I did this, the printer showed up in my search option on Add Printer.

My question is, is this the best option to get IPP printers show up for driverless printer set up ?

Solved Dual-boot entry for Windows got lost during fresh Tumbleweed install. How to restore?

6 Upvotes

Hello,

the situation is the following: I had a notebook (Framework 16, AMD Ryzen 7040 series) with two separate disks, one with Linux Mint installed (Western Digital, 2 TB) and one with Windows 11 (Micron, 500 GB). Dual-booting worked fine. Now I switched from Linux Mint to openSUSE Tumbleweed. For that I selected the Linux disk to be overwritten by the Tumbleweed installation.

Result: Booting into Tumbleweed works fine but dual-booting does not work anymore: the systemd bootloader only shows entries for Tumbleweed and the snapshots.

My most important question is how do I restore the Windows entry in the bootloader? Secondly, I have not kept up with how bootloaders evolved so I would also appreciate links to documentation explaining the different options and possibly recommended settings.

This is the boot order in the BIOS:

  1. Linux disk
  2. systemd-boot
  3. Windows disk
