I install hplip, but I don't recall if that is on both Debian+Red Hat,
or Debian only. I also configure the server to only provide LPD and
IPP{S}.

My Color LaserJet Pro M252dw is configured like so: <https://ibb.co/C6PWqBN>.

I don't use 9100 Printing, AirPrint, Bonjour, mDNS, WS-Print and
friends. In fact, I remove distro packages that provide Bonjour and
mDNS because DNS is the source of truth on my network.
