Oh OK.

If I knew the ipp address, lets say ipp://192.168.1.5/printers/foobar,
then I could deploy an image to a customer with a printers.conf and a
postcript PPD, couldn't I? Using 1.5.

So IIUC this project can implement that Bonjour discovery on Linux? As
an alternative to the typical Avahi deployments in distributions.

Kind regards,
