IPP Everywhere support?
Reading https://lwn.net/Articles/857502/ I found this unfortunate paragraph:
Most distributors have been working on support for driverless printing. The curious can find instructions online for Arch Linux, Debian (and Ubuntu), Fedora, Gentoo, Red Hat, and others. SUSE and openSUSE seem to be the biggest exception, unless your editor's search skills have failed.
Is it true? Are we the only ones who fallen asleep?

It seems more (a correct) lack of advertising because the feature (at least user-facing side) is not really polished yet. The 'driverless' CUPS backend is already available in our cups, and jsmeix (and possibly others from SUSE) seems active in upstream cups. I don't think there is a reason to worry. Tejas

Driverless printing works well with my Leap 15.2 server as CUPS server. I was unable to configure the driverless backend by YaST, but after somehow enabling the CUPS webfrontend (which was not straightforward but I already forgot the details...) I could easily enable it from there. Have fun, -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman
I was actually able to change driver to IPP Everywhere™ for a printer
from YaST by entering "everywhere" in a "search" input
Also thank you Matěj for the heads up, I wasn't even aware of the IPP
Everywhere at all.

I do no longer remember the details, but it is very well likely that I did search only for "driverless" in the search box ;-) Best regards -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman
