With CUPS stopped, "Print to File" and "print" show up in the Evince (GTK 3) print dialog [1]. If I start CUPS on a *remote* machine, those queues appear in the print dialog also (CUPS still stopped on the local machine). It doesn't matter whether CUPS is running locally or not, the same items appear. (The local CUPS doesn't have any queues configured.)
At no time does the printer show up, although I confirm that avahi-browse does still discover it, and it does show up in the LibreOffice (not GTK 3, I think?) print dialog.
I'm not sure where the "print" item comes from. If I select it, its status changes to "Getting printer information..." and the pointer spins forever.
