I'm trying to add my Brother DL-5450DN printer in a new installation of Fedora 35. No matter what I do, I get this error: Unable to create PPD file: Could not poll sufficient capability info from the printer It's discovered just fine, and I've not had anything like this problem previously. Any suggestions? Riki

Possibly a connection problem. Are you using the correct Brother RPM package for your model? poc

I had problems adding my Pantum printer, because Fedora was trying to use ipps:// URL's rather than the advertised ipp://. This resulted in the IP stack on the printer crashing (yay for crappy vendor firmware!), and any subsequent operations on the printer failing until it was manually rebooted. I ended up manually modifying the URLs to ipp:// and everything worked perfectly after that.
