Hello, I upgraded from Qubes 4.2 to 4.3 and wanted to add the local printer again as I did in Qubes 4.2, using

$ sudo dnf install cups

in the DruckerVM settings, I added the cups service.

$ sudo dnf install system-config-printer was already installed.

$ system-config-printer there were problems

[user@Drucker ~]$ system-config-printer /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py:325: DeprecationWarning: Gtk.ActionGroup.list_actions is deprecated for action in printer_manager_action_group.list_actions (): /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py:326: DeprecationWarning: Gtk.Action.set_sensitive is deprecated action.set_sensitive (False) /usr/share/system-config-printer/system-config-printer.py:334: DeprecationWarning: Gtk.ActionGroup.get_action is deprecated act = printer_manager_action_group.get_action (action) ..... .....

There is no printer in the window that opens. If you know the password (I don't), you can enter a device URI.

Use $ lsusb to check whether the printer is recognized in the DruckerVM. Yes, Epson WF-4820 Checked for activity in the DruckerVM with $ sudo systemctl status cups, result: activ (running), triggeredBy: cups.socket

No printer is found in the DruckerVM with Firefox and http://localhost:631 in the Printer tab.

How can I install a local printer in Qubes 4.3? I haven't found anything that works.
