Own printers, driverless only
The fourth panel this desktop handed to GNOME Settings, and the last one worth owning. Driverless only, deliberately. Adding a printer that describes its own capabilities over IPP is supported; choosing a PPD or fetching a vendor driver is not, and the page says so rather than pretending. That restraint is the whole design: a wrong driver produces a printer that accepts jobs, reports success, and prints nothing, which is the worst failure this page could ship because it looks like it worked. A printer old enough to need a PPD stays a job for the system printer tool. Printers and the queue are separate cards because they answer separate questions. Which printers exist is one; where a document went is the other, and it is the one that actually brings someone here -- so the queue is a single list across every printer. Device URIs are validated by scheme before reaching CUPS, whose backends run as root. file: and pipe: do not lead to a printer and are refused here rather than further down. This machine has no printer, so the page was built against a temporary CUPS queue that was created, exercised through the service, and removed; the service was confirmed to observe the removal rather than merely perform it. Discovery and the driverless add path are verified by their refusals rather than against hardware. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BRvzt4H8XXLPVH5MyYdk9L
