I've now checked and I can't find any installed driver and cups says it's "driverless", so that would imply it working out of the box and I would expect any newer models to do the same.
If it is driverless, it is probably using IPP or IPP over USB. See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/cups-useful-tricks/.
Yes, it's a wifi printer and it's using IPP and it's working fine. I was just clarifying my previous comment where I thought I had installed a driver.
Btw, my Fedora computer is apparently the only one that can print double-sided properly to it. The phones and Windows computers will only print short side flip for some reason even if long is selected. It's very strange.
You got that completely backwards. I have no issues at all using Fedora. It's everyone else that it isn't working for.
From the section:
... Some devices declare less options via protocols - f.e. IPP 2.0+, WSD, eSCL - which support driverless solutions than via classic drivers...It sounds like your WIndows machine is using WSD, and it is providing fewer options than IPP.
The option is there, it just apparently doesn't work. And it's not *my* Windows machine. :-) The kids run windows on their computers now that they bought their own.
