@hazelnot @schratze (Usually the trick is to have any necessary CUPS package for IPP Everywhere installed, and use a printer that does either that or AirPrint - then it'll work every time without needing printer-specific drivers. But this is barely documented anywhere)

@joepie91 @schratze tbh I've completely given up on network printing. When I need something printed I just plug in the old HP thing my parents bought like 15 years ago into my laptop via USB and use the bullshit proprietary driver cause nothing else seems to work
