Probably a good change in direction. Thanks for the info. I'll pursue
it for interest's sake.

This URI (device) and the others do not seem correct to me. For a
remote host with hostname HOSTNAME I'd expect a URI like this:

  ipps://HOSTNAME.local:631/printers/Samsung_SCX-4x25_Series

Let's try setting up a print queue manually. Use 'ippfind -T 5'
and '/usr/sbin/lpinfo -v' to obtain a URI from the remote host.
Then a print queue with

  lpadmin -p PRINTER_NAME -v URI -E -m everywhere

PRINTER_NAME can be what you want, for example, scxtest.

Test with

  lp -d PRINTER_NAME /etc/nsswitch.conf

and from Brave.
