Just to correct the point, i keep forgetting, it seems even this fails with the
latest cups version on Bullseye where fax printers are concerned.

I haven't forgotten. The driverless stuff DOES NOT work, and you cannot
delete it until you un-install the cups-browser. You can delete it, and
cups says its deleted, but in the 5 seconds it gives you to read the
deleted msg,
cups-browser has recreated it again so its still there by the time you
click on printers again. And it blocks
the makers drivers which in the case of Brother, do everything the
printer is capable of.
Driverless might work with some of the recent $40 printers, but it is a
long way from being ready for
prime time on a 5 yo $700 printer.
