Bonsoir, I am wondering what is in mind of packagers.... I have just fought for a couple of days to have the printing service working on a fresh fc23 install. 1- cups-browser.service is not enabled by default. cups.service is enabled but you cannot add printers. ok! With a little work, you can find why you cannot add printer. 2- Once this service is enabled, you can add your printer: your network printer is found without any problem, you can find the right driver in the default printer list.... So far so good! Then you test your install sending a test page and.... "filter failed"! What does that mean? 3- googleling gives you tons of results and none of them give a solution: filter failed, filter failed.... What is this filter? driver? Is my printer too old and none of the new drivers will work? Must I buy a new printer?..... 4- A light comes to you: "and if it was a firewall problem?" Hurrah! You have found the solution.... Will it be so difficult in the install process to enable the browser cups service at the same time the cups service is enabled (and it is enabled by default)? Is it so difficult to add an accept rule for port 631 to iptables if cups service is enabled or, at least, send a warning when cups is enabled in order to remember to root to enable port 631 in iptables rules? I am just wondering....
