[cups] ippeveprinter - how to set up with real printer?

[Johannes Meixner]

Hello,

I have a generic question regarding Printer Applications
in particular regarding ippeveprinter.

I am currently somewhat "disconnected" because I was not
in the office for a bit longer than the last two month
so my question could be ignorant, if so please bear with me.

I wonder about security when "yet another daemon" is accessible.

Is it somewhere documented how access to a Printer Application
(in particular access to ippeveprinter) is restricted?

Can such an emulated IPP printer be optionally also accessed
directly from remote clients via network so that such an
emulated IPP printer behaves like a real IPP printer?

If yes, how can remote access to such an emulated IPP printer
be rescricted?

Kind Regards
