Re: ipp-usb not necessary

I previously noted that ipp-usb was constantly running using (not

I finally decided to experiment and just did "dnf erase ipp-usb" which
only removed that one rpm, then I rebooted (just to make sure).
I no longer have anything using significant cpu when the system should
be idle, plus the USB printer (and the scanner) seem to still work fine.
In fact, the printer starts up immediately when I send it a page to
print instead of delaying for several seconds like it did when ipp-usb
was installed.
I fail to understand why ipp-usb exists.
Newer USB printers apparently use IPP over USB, so that's needed for
them. In your case, you don't need it and there's maybe a delay while
it figures out that it's not IPP.
