I guess Fedora puts them in the journal now. Try running:
journalctl _COMM=cupsd
The Log
settings in /etc/ cups/*.conf should tell you.

I suggest you make a bootable Linux Mint USB stick and see if that can operate your printer. Then you will know if Linux supports it.
That’s because it’s using mDNS. If you disable Bonjour/Avahi/mDNS in the printer settings, it will no longer be auto-added by any device on the network.
Alternatively, you can prevent just your specific computer from auto-adding printers, see:
You can load the PPD from the driver manually.
Thank you for those details. I researched it at the time, but gave up quickly, other goals were pressing.
Unfortunately I find myself agreeing with you.
That’s an interesting idea. I’ll give it a try.
I’ll give that a try. thanks.
Different linux handles cups in their own way
My peppermint linux detected my hp laserjet 1200 immediately and installed it.
Yet on my pure debian i had to download cups from the repository and had a rocky time with it.
But eventually i had to use the search drivers function, select the proper printer and driver.
Half an hour from beginning to end.
But i have an active printer for my shop.
