iOS printing – Finishing (Punch) options not applied for images unless a preset is selected

When printing image/photo files via AirPrint, selected finishing options (e.g., Punch) are not applied unless a preset is chosen. reproduction steps: Select an image on iOS Tap Print → choose printer/server Set Finishing Options → Punch Print

Observed: Finishing options not applied IPP trace shows no finisher attributes in the request

working scenario: Select any Preset (e.g., Color) before printing Finishing options are then included in IPP and applied

Note: Issue does not occur when printing PDFs from iOS; finisher attributes are sent correctly.

Is this expected AirPrint behavior for image jobs, or could this be a bug in how iOS constructs the IPP request for photos?

Based on your description, it sounds like a bug. Have you filed a bug and, if so, what's the bug number?
