Works for me

  • Did not run out-of-the box
  • Attached you can find my hints
  • Cups must be installed with ssl support

SSL Certificates

  • Android Play Store Version requires SSL certificates (Android 11),
  • F-Droid version works without SSL (Android 11), but the connection is instable and the printer is not always available
  • You require a certificate, self generated, or already provided via cups installation
  • Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
Port 631
ServerCertificate /etc/cups/ssl/host.network.crt
ServerKey /etc/cups/ssl/host.network.key
SSLListen 0.0.0.0:632

Find printer in local network

  • Edit /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
  • Ensure that your print server can be found from a device within your local network

Smartphone

  1. install AndroidCupsPrint from PlayStore
  2. go to connected devices -> connection settings -> printers -> android cups print -> add printer
  3. add printer manual, attention, printer name is case sensitive, check url with your browser before, use the SSL port
https://192.168.0.2:632/printers/Printer1
Printer1
  1. open a pdf document, try to print this document, your will miss the print button
  2. go back to play store, search for android cups print and open it -> you see a certificate warning from your local ssl certificate
  3. accept the certificate, but do not double tap to the printer
  4. reopen the PDF document -> print -> select printer (possible the certificate acceptance step must be confirmed twice, see step before)

voila, cups print works fine for me
