Comment on Web printing
Shimitar@feddit.it 1 week agoOk, I have a web browser on a locked down device and nothing else: how do I print a pdf or a photo using IPP?
I have: a camera, a browser, a file manager (kind of, think of an iPhone or some stock android business device) and I need to print a photo taken with the camera or a pdf file sent to me via email or WhatsApp?
The device is connected to the WiFi guest network with limited internet access (if any) and as only available service a server with port 443 open (a reverse proxy on that, captive portal and such).
In my experience, there is no way to print via cups in this configuration. Maybe I am wrong?

Well if you’re talking about isolated networks, that’s a different story, and not in your post. That’s a completely different scenario than what you posted about.
In that case, you could also use port forwarding and IPP via CUPS to achieve the same result without needing to build a web form. If you’re unfamiliar with CUOS, try enabling the WebUI and setting it up from there, but there is an option to allow printing from the internet,meaning it’s enabling IPP and accepting requests from outside the source network it’s hosted on, effectively creating a bridge between your two networks for this specific purpose and only using that one port.
