I think this is because the mDNS name of my printer happens to end with
a parenthesis (it's "HP Color LaserJet MFP M277dw (xxxxxx)"), and with
this specific printer, the algorithms used by GTK and cups-browsed to
flatten mDNS names into syntactically-valid printer names are subtly
different: GTK removes trailing invalid characters, but cups-browsed
does not (this appears to be deliberate, it has special code to do this
for other strings but not for DNS-SD-based printer names).
