This means that I have to create a local (raw) CUPS queue at first, set
the URI pointing to the printer, and then I can investigate the printer.
After that I either generate and add a PPD (IPP Everywhere printer), do
nothing (remote CUPS queue), or remove the queue again (unknown
printer). Is this the correct way to proceed?
