[cups] Leitz ICON printer

[Helge Blischke]

After digging somewhat deeper into the Leitz Icon web site(s), I found that this printer
claims to support Apple’s AirPrint. So you perhaps could try to add this printer as an
AitPrint printer. It then should support the document-formats 
application/pdf
and
image/urf
