I see the point about applet verus webNP, Brian.page. To my mind it is not a showstopper.Nor to me. It's simply convenient.Enjoy the applet while you can.Probably when I get a new machine. Which should be some years away - I've only had this one about a year. Unless, of course, I'm forced to remove HPLIP by some upgrade or other in the mean time.As I've said previously, a future CUPS will not support printer drivers. HPLIP provides printer drivers. There will be little point in Debian packaging HPLIP, wouldn't you agree? But this is a few years away. Stick with what you have (it works) but think about getting ahead of the game.We'll see at that time, especially since what I read from https://wiki.debian.org/CUPSDriverlessPrinting makes it unable to handle the cases where you must use a print serer or the one where you're not on the same network as the printer.Perhaps cups-browsed migt help you.
No all zeroconf based scheme is limited to the local (L2 network). And printer on a separate network is the standard setup in offices.
