How to add Linux IPP Printer
Open a console
Download the appropriate PPD file and unpack, copy the ppd file to /usr/share/cups/model. example In the console sudo cp SU3J.PPD /usr/share/cups/model/su3j.ppd
Add any options installed on the printer this can be done via GUI, by opening settings and navigate to Printers. Alternatively by the console sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p "Printer Name" -o "PPD options". example sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p CLSharp171 -o Option1=Finisher -o OutputBin=Option4 This adds the finisher and sets the output to finisher upper tray.
Hints: List printer options lpoptions -p "Printer Queue" -l will list all options. example lpoptions -p CLSharp171 -l Also you may need to check ppd file for appropriate options example cat su3j.ppd | grep -i "OutputBin Output"
