mDNS doesn't allow the printer to register itself to your system, which is the (highly dubious!) purpose of cups-browsed.

- yrro 2y agoModern cups discovered printers via mDNS and does indeed automatically create temporary destinations for them. This only works with "IPP Everywhere" printers which are 'driverless', i.e., the risk of doing this is limited since there's no printer model-specific software that needs to be run on the local machine to print to a remote printer, as opposed to the legacy protocol implemented (apparently unsafely!) by cups-browsed.
