Printer Not Functional After Fedora Template Upgrade

Continuing the discussion from How to install printer?:

Hey everybody! Printers dead again :thinking: So I updated templates to Fedora-39-xcfe a while ago and changed my AppVMs to the new templates and installed everything to the new templates. My printers no longer function. I see them from the drop down qubes devices window and connect to AppVM’s no problem. I can see them in Dom0 Terminal “qvm-usb” connected to the AppVM I want to print from. tried system-config-printer and I get nothing available… I found cups driver was disabled. I enabled in local AppVM Terminal using “systemctl enable cups” and get the screen pic. So I have spent about 3 hours trying to print. So heres the screwy thing… I can copy my files from the AppVM’s using Fedora 39-xcfe to an old AppVM still using Fedora 36 and print from there no problem and this has been my work around for quite some time now… Ive searched and found that now cups is disabled by default and that is normal, but even with it enabled, status report shows dead… I will go back to my work around for now, but if anybody knows of a way to solve this situation, I would be super happy to hear about it thanks!

Per user suggesrion I have moved this into another topic since it seems like a separate issue.
