Thanks for the quick reply.
I had to install cups-ipp-util first, then avahi-discover.---------------------------------------------------------

I checked my printer setup with a browser and AirPrint is active.
I tried to setup the printer with /usr/bin/system-config-printer and I had the choice between 3 protocols for the same printer :
- ipp://BRW3C77E657AB52.local:631/ipp/print
- lpd printer BRW3C77E657AB52
- Network printer via DNS-SD for ipp://BRW3C77E657AB52.local:631/ipp/print
I choosed the first one, and this time I had a message saying "Searching for driver" and it did not prompt me with the usual list of all printers that it knows, but it ask me for the name of the printer and a name for the place it is. I printed the "Printer test page" and everything works OK now.
Thanks a lot for the help. I don't know exactly why CUPS was asking for information to select the driver from its list and now it doesn't anymore ?
But it works great!

Bernard

If you have older versions, please run a system update.
Please run the following command:
driverless
This should show an entry for your printer, starting with "ipp".
If not, run
ippfind
Does your printer have an entry here?
If not, open the web administration interface of your printer, opening
http://<IP or host name of your printer>/
in a web browser. Go into the network settings and make sure that IPP support and/or AirPrint is enabled.
Do
sudo apt-get install avahi-discover
and then run
avahi-discover
Look for your printer. It should be available under your standard network interface (usually "eth0" or "wlan0"), IPv4, and there under "Unix Printer" and "Internet Printer". Click on its "Internet Printer" entry. Then you will see some data about it in the lower part of the window and the data also appearing in the terminal window from which you started avahi-discover, something like this:
----------
Service data for service 'Deskjet 2540 series [E7DDC7]' of type '_ipp._tcp' in domain 'local' on 3.0:
Host HP5CB901E7DDC7.local (192.168.223.1), port 631, TXT data: ['Scan=T', 'Duplex=F', 'Color=T', 'UUID=1c852a4d-b800-1f08-abcd-5cb901e7ddc7', 'Fax=F', 'note=', 'adminurl=http://HP5CB901E7DDC 7.local./#hId-pgAirPrint ', 'mac=02:ba:d0:3f:7f:fe', 'priority=20', 'usb_MDL=Deskjet 2540 series', 'usb_MFG=HP', 'product=(HP Deskjet 2540 series)', 'ty=Deskjet 2540 series', 'URF=CP1,MT1-2-8-9-10-11,OB9,OFU0,PQ3-4-5,RS300-600,SRGB24,W 8-16,DEVW8-16,DEVRGB24-48,ADOB ERGB24-48,IS1,V1.3', 'kind=document,envelope,photo' , 'PaperMax=<legal-A4', 'rp=ipp/print', 'pdl=application/vnd.hp-PCL,im age/jpeg,application/PCLm,imag e/urf', 'qtotal=1', 'txtvers=1']
----------
Please post what you get for your printer.
It should have "image/urf" in the "pdl=..." part and it should have a "URF=..." part.
Please post the output of all commands in your reply. Thanks.

Sorry to email directly, I'm new on the ubuntu-devel list. I have
installed ubuntu-mate 17.04 and tried to setup a driverless printer
according to your following post
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2016-December /039586.html
I have a brother printer MFC-J650DW and it is listed in the
support.apple.com <http://support.apple.com> list of printers that
should be able to do "airprint".
I have changed my cups-browsed.conf file and restart services. I can
see my printer if I try to add a printer. But I can't set it up without
being asked for the driver. I tried too with cupsd on the localhost
with same result.
The OS is updated from today dec 27th 19:57 Eastern time.
uname -a
Linux ungava 4.9.0-11-generic #12-Ubuntu SMP Mon Dec 12 16:18:23 UTC
2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Should I wait for some other update before it starts to work ? Is it
normal ?
