Fresh installation of Debian 11.6 on Dell Vostro 200 (Intel Core 2).

The Vostro 200 is being added to a home LAN with Debian 11.6 running
on a nondescript desktop (amd64) and a HP Laserjet P3015 Postscript
(Ethernet). The amd64 machine works perfectly with the P3015.

The printer configuration on both machines appears identical:

DRIVER: HP LaserJet Series PCL 6 CUPS (grayscale)

Connection: socket://192.168.1.211:9100

(1) The printer installs on Vostro 200 but does not print.

(2) Should I install the P3015 as generic Postscript printer?

(3) I cannot make sense of the new CUPS "driverless" scheme.
Does it make my Postscript printers obsolete?

You might have better luck on the Cups mailing list! ;^)

Symptoms of not printing? Provide outputs for 'lpstat -t'
and 'lpinfo -v'.

Unlikely to have any effect.

No.
