[cups.general] 1.6x IPP printer detection

Actually the client.conf option doesn't work since my clients network
printer, is not a cups printer.

I could try preset the printer.conf with the IPP, but it's a little
messy with http://ix.io/4Ii and the accompanying PPD http://ix.io/4Ij
Furthermore this API looks like it's going with CUPS 1.6?!

I just tried Avahi. However the UX is also terrible here. I had to add
the printer beforehand in CUPS Web interface, before being able to use
it?

I need the UX where detected printers just appear in the print dialog.

I hope you guys can help me!

Many thanks,
