    Hi George,
        I was pointing this out because I don't use the IPP Anywhere
    interface, and cups has never supplied drivers for my printer,
    I've had to always the Epson supplied driver to enable printing in
    Linux. This was just an observation with, when adding a printer,
    cups shows me two entries under the "Discovered Network Printer"
    section, one for IPP Anywhere and one for the "Driverless" option,
    where the IPP Anywhere shows two separate driver definitions for
    cups drivers and the driverless option, whereas the "Driverless"
    selection displays all drivers in the one list with the driverless
    driver listed first and all the cups drivers then listed in
    alphabetical order.


I wonder if we are in a transitional phase where legacy CUPS is mixing with IPP.   Some manufacturers may provide legacy support in their printers when they add IPP, but (until Apple changes AirPrint), most manufacturers' networked printers will provide IPP because they want Apple AirPrint to work for customers using IOS.

I have never used IPP Anywhere with this printer, IPP Anywhere seems to be a relatively recent innovation in cups. It used to be just IPP among other options, which seem to have disappeared now, but I was never able to get IPP to work with my Epson printer.

regards,
Steve
