Gtk can detect IPP printers and display one of them with rp=ipp/print in
the TXT record. The issue is whether GTK is designed to print to such a
printer. From my point of view it obviously is not. Hence reducing the
severity.

Rather a shame these days considering the prevelance of IPP printers on
the market.
