Yes, thanks; ippfind utility from cups-client said me:
ipp://BRN3C2AF408FB18.local:631/ipp/print

as BRN3C2AF408FB18.local address doesn't exist in my TCP/IP network, I
replaced it by 192.168.1.108 :
ipp://192.168.1.108:631/ipp/print

and as PostScript didn't work anyway, I was finally success by selecting
driver:
Generic PCL 6/PCL XL Printer Foomatic/hpijs-pcl5c

PS: I don't like DND-SD; I prefer to manage traditional IP and DNS space.
