Driverless sounds like a nice concept, but doesn't seem to work for me.  I
deleted the proprietary printer driver for my brother laser hl-l2395dw,
then on KDE try adding a printer.  It does detect the printer in the
"discovered printers" section I see a hll2395dw "driverless" option.  But
if I choose that, I'm prompted to fill in an ip address and some other info
(port?).  So I don't think this is actually working.  Choosing instead
Brother's proprietary driver works and connects via dnssd without asking me
for other info.
