brother hl-l2320d
I have added CUPS to a RPi zero and configured and works with printing of my android phone. But the printer is visible to windows when i first add it to CUPS and then I try to add it and stays in the connecting mode, never connects and then I cannot find it again on windows unless I delete it from CUPS and re-add it. I added samba for windows and edited it for guest = ok. Is there a place I can read up on CUPS for windows or SAMBA? thank you

I am literally having the exact same problem. I'm even using a raspi-zero. Were you able to figure it out?

Windows 11 seem to be broken in some way or another.

First of all, what works:

  1. Devices & printer → add printer → add manually
  2. Add a printer using an IP address or hostname
  3. select "Device type: IPP device" enter ipps:https://hostname.local:631/printers/PRINTERNAME. Notice ipps, not ipp. Replace hostname with your zeroconf hostname (avahi name), and printer name with your printer, as seen in cups web interface URL
  4. Wait for "Printer has been successfully installed" dialog. The printer may require several tens of seconds to "install" (it first is shown as "No Data" device in "devices and printers" list of old control panel, only after that becomes listed as "printer").

Now, what does not work for some reason:

  • In modern control panel, automatic discovery & add printer - everlasting "connecting...". The connection to CUPS succeeds, CUPS returns the reply to Get-Printer-Attributes, but nothing happens next.

  • Adding printer manually via "Add a printer using an IP address or hostname", "Device type: IPP device", ipp:https://192.168.69.110:631/printers/printername (plain ipp without s) (or by uowprint.local domain): 'Printer "printername" been successfully installed' (or sometimes 'Printer "" been successfully installed' with empty printer name) dialog, the printer flashes for a second in the installed list but then disappears forever.

  • In old control panel → printers → add printer → add automatically discovered printer. The installation succeeds, but the printer is always listed as "unknown device" and does not switch to "printer".

That's all with OpenPrinting (not Apple) CUPS 2.4.2.

I found the issue: Windows 11 incorrectly handles integers in media-source-supported IPP field, which is controlled by InputSlot parameter in .ppd file.

Does NOT work (media-source-supported = 0)

*OpenUI *InputSlot/Paper Source: PickOne
*DefaultInputSlot: 0
*InputSlot 0/Auto : ""
*CloseUI: *InputSlot

Works fine (media-source-supported = auto)

*OpenUI *InputSlot/Paper Source: PickOne
*DefaultInputSlot: auto
*InputSlot auto/Auto : ""
*CloseUI: *InputSlot

Check your /etc/cups/ppd/ .ppd file whether it contains similar construction.
