      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      When configuring cups-browsed on RHEL 9 clients, it looks like the CUPS server isn't providing any information that the client could use to specify finishing options like staplers, hold punching, binding, etc.

      This does seem to be a limitation of how CUPS on the server is reporting printer attributes to cups-browsed on the client.

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      Clients using printer sharing through Cups-Browsed are missing finishing options that are available on the print server. These options are not passed to the remote systems as they should be.

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      How reproducible is this bug?:

      Steps to reproduce

      1. configure printer with finishing options on print server
      2. configure printer browsing on rhel 9 client
      3. observer printer finishing options are not present in cups generated ppd file

      Expected results

      When cups queries the printer for attributes all attributes should be added to the cups generated ppd file on the remote clients using browsing from printing.

      Actual results

       

      many finishing options are missing such as stapling and collating.
