I was searching all over the net and really didn't find a resolution. I have a Kodak printer, yeah I know not well supported, but I kept looking thru Synaptic and for anything referencing IPP. Well it appears that cups-bsd is the package. I installed that and lo and behold, printer works perfectly.
Hope this helps some of you having a problem when you right click on the Printer Properties and get ''(unknown IPP tag)' and cannot be edited. and are unable to print.

Re: [SOLVED] ''(unknown IPP tag)' and cannot be edited.
OK, but checking CUPS setup for that printer should also have enabled that option, IPP (internet Printing Protocol)

--but if its is also being provided by the bsd printer support files, fine: only you shouldn't really need both bsd and cups to make a printer function, although they don't interfere with each other (being complementary: bsd support being in general for older UNIX/Linuxes )

Perhaps LMDE has an issue with cups. All I know is that my printer would not work until I installed cups-bsd. Perhaps my install is a bit strange but now functional for printing.

Re: [SOLVED] ''(unknown IPP tag)' and cannot be edited.
I had the same problem with HP printers and installin cups-bsd does not solve the probem. For now I always accessing CUPS via the web browser:
- open the web browser
- go to localhost:631/
- click the Administration tab
Re: [SOLVED] ''(unknown IPP tag)' and cannot be edited.
Yes, I had seen that resolution here as well. I tried it and it failed. Perhaps it is just the Kodak printer(s) that might need cups-bsd.
Good to hear that your problem was solved. Wish mine had been that easy.
