[cups-devel] Need help debugging driver or finding workaround

[Christian Seberino]

Even in the web interface I got an error adding the suffice to the URI. See
below.
I'm running CUPS 1.7.2 on Ubuntu 14.04.  The 2 troubling printers are
Xerox Phaser 4622 and
Xerox WorkCentre 7835.

I tried 3 different ways to use socket://10.87.20.41:9100?waiteof=false
but they all failed.
============================================
Add Printer B&W_Printer Error

Unable to add printer:

Bad device-uri "socket://10.87.20.41:9100?waiteof=false".
