Everywhere queues work if added via lpadmin or (I have just discovered) cups 
web interface.  Driverless queues don't seem to work no matter how set up.

System-config-printer lists the printer twice under 

Add Printer > "Network Printer" 

one listing per connection - "IPP network printer via DNS-SD" or "Driverless 
IPP" - neither of which print.

I am grateful for your help and quite understand the reluctance to continue 
with a situation that doesn't make sense.

However, given that 

- airprint works from iphone 
- driverless IPP works from cups 2.4 on Ubuntu 22.04
- I get the same behaviour from an identical printer on a different network 
with the same Debian 11.3 system, and the original printer with a different 
Debian 11.0 system

there does seem to be a Debian-related bug somewhere.

Is there anyone else you would suggest referring this to, or any other package 
to consider filing against?

What chance is there of Debian updating cups in stable?  Is there a way to 
request consideration of this?

Meanwhile, is using the cups 2.4 testing packages in stable unwise?  Or a 
known-working Buster version?

I can manage well enough with everywhere printing, but the users I support (if 
I upgrade them to Bullseye) will not appreciate the cups web interface or 
lpadmin, s-c-p is preferred.

Many thanks again,
Gareth
