Please give 'lpstat -t' for bpi51 (bullseye) and a buster machine.

Thanks.
'lpstat -t' only ever shows *local* printers. That is, printers that have
been set up (manually in this case) on the local machine. It will never
discover and show printers on the network. This was mentioned earlier in
this thread, but you do not appear to appreciate its significance.
To be clear: HLL2320D-RAW and PDF are local printers. We set up
HLL2320D-RAW
(which is a working printer) togetger. Should you wish to see *all*
devices
(local and on the network) us
lpstat -e
lpstat -l -e
Aha! now the two bpi's see all shares, + add the pdf generator if its
installed. The HLL2320D as seen by -t, is the result of our earlier
test, it actually added the printer to the local lp world. But not to cups.
I'll update bpi51 when the current part is finished, probably about an
hour yet.
And that updated 77 pkgs, but did not require a reboot. And no pkg
changed anything about the cups blank printers discovered screen at
localhost:631.
And its back to making another part. Busy till around 2am local
Thanks Brian.
The second command was explained earlier in the thread.

Summary: Everything is as it should be.
Your first mail has:

You are missing the point, lpstat is seeing them, but cups is not.
That it seems to me, s/b where we should be concentrating our discovery
efforts. FWIW reinstalling cups and cups-browsed has been done, made no
difference that I could detect. Is there something I could put at the
top of /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to make any failures or rejects generate
meaningful msgs in /var/log/cups/error_log?

The facts as expressed are OK. Your interpretation of them is
sub-optimal.
A lack of understanding about what localhost:631 and 'lpstat -t' show is
the root of problem and colours everything you have written here..

Apple ceased any involvement with CUPS development and parted
company with
its Chief Printing Engineer a number of years ago. Debian CUPS is
produced
by a team led by the creator of CUPS. Your requested fix is in place
:).
If so, (this is the first I've heard of it, and I've only known Michael
since the late 1980's when we were both heavily involved in the os9
development, a mini unix that ran of the trs-80 color computers)
where do I
email now to be assured Michael will see it? Is there a new cups mailing
list?
Please see our wiki.
Do you have any idea if that fix will be released for arm64 bullseye?
I just
checked bpi54, no updates available since the Friday update. Ditto
for the
intel busters here, but they're busters, so don't need the fix, they
Just
Work.
I haven't a clue about arm64. I am not even sure that CUPS is the
issue. You
have a classical local printer set up. It works. There are three other
printers
that could be set up with the same technique. Remenber - you are the
one who
does not want a New Architecture setup.
The big inkjet is well over 5 years old, and among other things the New
Architecture does not recognize is it has two trays for paper source,
always using the $0.12 a sheet glossy photo from the top tray.
Imagine what it would cost me to print all 1330 some pages of the
current linuxcnc user docs. Not to mention I'd have to reload that
smaller tray about 14 times. Tain't gonna happen.
And my ISP is having email probs its Monday.
Took them till close to noon to find it.
Thanks Brian.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
