.CUPS driverless printing is available in CUPS Web UI CUPS driverless printing, based on the IPP Everywhere model, is available in the CUPS Web UI. In addition to the `lpadmin` command used in the CLI, you can create an IPP Everywhere queue in the CUPS Web UI to print to network printers without special software.

Description David Kuklinek 2021-12-15 15:04:28 UTC
Description of problem:

A printer supporting IPP Everywhere printer can be added through the CUPS Web UI.


Acceptance criteria:
- When adding a printer through the CUPS web UI, after selecting the IPP protocol and entering the URI of the printer, the IPP Everywhere model (for printers which do support this standard) is available to be selected.
- respective User documentation for RHEL is updated

Example:
- Zdenek showcased the setup as follows
-- http://localhost:631/admin
-- select ipp protocol
-- enter URI connection (ipp://192.168.0.112/ipp/print)
-- Give the printer a Name (TestPrinter)
-- Select the Printer make (HP)
-- Select the IPP Everywhere among the printer Model 


Additional info:
- As agreed with Zdenek, this is rather a nice to have to support the available CLI commands in RHEL8. Related documentation is 
- The feature should support the RH approach that a user should not need to use CLI only but should be able to achieve the same results also via UI > the same as e.g. Cockpit 
- We are aware that the GNOME printer setup will not posses this particular feature 
- RHEL9 runs a higher version of CUPS where this already exists
