Hi, I have installed the cups package with this method.

Now I need the foomatic-rip filter, can filter :

$ lpstat -p                                                 
printer myPrinter is idle.  enabled since sam. 21 déc. 2019 01:16:45 CET
    File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip" not available: No such file or directory

Can I just scp the /usr/lib/cups/filter//usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip folder from my Ubuntu to SailfishOS ?

Can So I just scprsync the /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip filter from my Ubuntu (supposing it's not distrib. dependent) to my SailfishOS device and restarted cups :

$ alias scp='time \rsync -h --progress -u -zt'
$ scp /usr/lib/cups/filter/foomatic-rip jolla-wlan:cups/filter/
