Idle - "File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/brlpdwrapperdcpj315w" not available: No such file or directory" error about docker-cups-airprint HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey @wojciehm,

that is indeed a great use case! Let me try to help.

Yes you can configure your printer over the interface, but the configuration won't last and same goes for the uploaded PPD. It's gone once the container restarts. So after you configure your printer, you need to get the configuration and add it through ENV (see https://github.com/DrPsychick/docker-cups-airprint#add-printer-through-env) or other means to the container when you start it the next time. (Hint: lpadmin -i ppd-file # Specify a PPD file for the printer)

To get your PPD file into the container, I suggest mounting a directory which contains your PPD files.

something like:

docker run -d --rm -e CUPS_WEBINTERFACE="yes" \
  -v /my/ppd/directory:/etc/cups/ppd \
  -e CUPS_REMOTE_ADMIN="yes" --hostname mycups \
  -e CUPS_LPADMIN_PRINTER1="lpadmin -p "My PPD Printer" ... -i /etc/cups/ppd/myppdfile.ppd ..."
  --name cups-setup drpsychick/airprint-bridge

The alternative approach is building your own docker image and including your PPD in it directly, as described here: https://github.com/DrPsychick/docker-cups-airprint#automated-through-files

I hope this helps!

Hey @wojciehm, did you get it to work with your custom PPD file?

Hey @wojciehm, I'll close this as there is no change required. I hope you got it to work.
