Ok, what do I need to do in Cups?
I found https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Driverless_printing and followed, some | Code: | | echo 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor ...' | lp |
works and prints successfully.
driverless complains about missing ippfind. Do I need that to generate a generic PPD for driverless printing? This is all very confusing.
If almost all common printers need migration, there should be a news or wiki about what to do.
Currently the Gutenprint ppd works, but this will be broken soon when driverless printing migration is finished, true?

Massimo B.,
I wimped out of setting up driverless printing here when I lost cups-filters.
I read about driverless printing and discovered that cups-filters was no longer installed by default.
Installing cups-filters here restored normality.
As I understand it, no PPD is required but as I say, I left driverless printing for another day.
Certainly, WiFI Direct, from Android, works here.
== edit ==
'soon' will be a long time. Older printers will never support driverless printing.
